Russia is demanding the United Nations condemn Kyiv following an alleged drone attack that it claims killed a journalist working for a Russian outlet and injured several others.

Russia launched doxens of drones against cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine overnight killing three people and injuring at least 23, Ukrainian authorities said.

“At approximately 17:30, the occupiers attacked a resident of Beryslav with an UAV,” the report says. A 59-year-old woman sustained injuries in the yard of her home after an enemy drone dropped an explosive. The victim was taken to the hospital with mine and blast injury, concussion and shrapnel wounds to her arms and legs.

The Russian state-run RIA Novosti news agency has said that a Ukrainian drone hit a car on the Donetsk-Horlivka highway, killing a freelance correspondent for Izvestia, Alexander Martemyanov, and injuring five other representatives of the Russian media.

Russia's attack using Shahed drones on Ukraine at the start of the new year caused the deaths of two prominent scientists in Kyiv.

Russia launched an aerial attack on Ukraine, striking the capital and other regions with multiple missiles and drones.

Two Russian helicopters were downed in a recent strike by the Ukrainian-made Magura V5 naval strike drones, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) reported on its Telegram channel. HUR earlier said on Dec.
