A Russian drone hit the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Oblast, on the afternoon of 19 October, killing civilians including a one-year-old girl in a stroller and injuring 15 people, seven of them children. Ukrainian officials opened a war-crime investigation, the local community declared 20 October a day of mourning, and President Volodymyr Zelensky called for stronger air defence and continued sanctions on Russia.
