A Russian drone struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing two women and an infant and injuring at least 14 people, Ivan Vyhivskyi, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reported on October 19.
The attack hit the park while many civilians were there, including families with children, Vyhivskyi wrote.

An infant in a stroller was among those killed. At least seven children were among the wounded.
Emergency services were working at the scene, providing first aid to the injured and checking the area for explosive hazards.
“Yet another Russian strike against civilians. An attack on children that served no military purpose whatsoever,” Vyhivskyi stated.
Earlier on October 19, Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region, killing at least two people and injuring 14 others, including three children. The attack involved ballistic and cruise missiles as well as 269 drones, damaging homes, medical facilities, schools, transport infrastructure, and other civilian sites.
