Overnight attacks by Russia on Ukraine damaged infrastructure and private homes across the country, according to regional officials.

Water levels of the Ural river reached 11 meters and 29 centimeters on Friday in Russia 's Orenburg, Denis Pasler, the regional governor, said on Telegram. In the two hours to 8:00 local time alone, water levels had increased by 6 centimeters, Pasler said, calling the situation 'difficult,' according to a Google translation of his statement.

The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations said work to limit the impact of the flood and reduce water levels in towns — including Orsk, which was one of the first places to be flooded as the Ural's water levels began rising last week — was ongoing. Overnight, water levels in Orsk fell by 30 cm, the ministry said on Telegram. Meanwhile, state media reported that people in the southwestern Kurgan region were evacuated early on Friday as water levels there rose by 1.4 meters overnight.
