Two people were killed and 26 wounded, of whom six remained in hospitals, it added.
On Friday afternoon, a civilian car was hit by a kamikaze drone in Kharkiv region, killing a man and a woman, the regional governor said on the Telegram messenger app.
Another drone hit a village in the southern Kherson region, its governor added. A woman was killed.
