According to information from Kyiv, Russia also fired on civilians and non-military infrastructure in further rocket and artillery attacks in Ukraine. In the Donetsk region, seven civilians were killed and another 13 were wounded in 24 hours, the General Staff in Kyiv announced today.
“The area has no gas, partly no water and no electricity. The rescue of the population will continue.” In many places, Russian attacks were successfully repelled, he said. The Ukrainian air force also attacked enemy positions. The information cannot be independently verified.
Children suffer too
Nine people, including children, were injured by Russian shelling of a five-story house in the town of Oleksandrivka today, the governor of Ukraine’s southern region of Mykolayiv Vitaly Kim said. The General Staff also reported that the Mykolaiv region was under heavy rocket fire. The situation also remained difficult in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine, which is almost entirely controlled by Russian troops.
In its situation report, Russia confirmed that attacks against Ukraine would continue. In the Kharkov region, more than 100 fighters were “destroyed” in attacks on Ukrainian nationalist units, ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov in Moscow said. Up to 20 US citizens were also killed. This information is also not verifiable. Kyiv had founded an international legion for foreign soldiers.
Overall, Konashenkov spoke of more than 800 Ukrainian militants killed in 24 hours in various regions, including the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. Thus, bases, military technology, fuel depots and ammunition were again destroyed.
