Moscow launches large-scale attack on Ukraine as Kyiv continues attacks on Russian oil refineries
Russia launched over 600 drones and missiles towards nine regions across Ukraine. Meanwhile, Kyiv struck two Russian oil refineries, as part of its wider campaign against Russian oil and gas.
Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack at various regions across Ukraine on Saturday, killing at least three and wounding dozens others.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched over 600 drones and missiles, which targeted nine regions across Ukraine, including Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy and Kharkiv.
“The enemy aimed at our infrastructure, residential areas, and civilian enterprises,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, adding that a missile equipped with cluster munitions struck a multi-story building in the city of Dnipro.
“Every such strike is not a military necessity but a deliberate strategy by Russia to terrorize civilians and destroy our infrastructure,” the Ukrainian leader concluded.
Local media reported one person was killed and eight others were injured in the Chernihiv district. Three of the injured had been travelling by car when a drone struck. Three medics were called to the scene, who were then also injured when a second strike hit the region. All six were transported to the hospital.
