Ukraine and Russia have reported new attacks by opposing sides and several explosions. Russia fired 17 rockets of different types and 31 Iranian Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones at Ukraine, the air force said on Friday in Kiev. Ten cruise missiles and 23 Shahed drones and two reconnaissance drones were shot down, it said. In Russia, too, there were reports of attacks by Ukrainians.
The Russian attacks, which once more hit the capital Kiev, lasted until five in the morning. Air alerts went off across the country that night.
The Ukrainian authorities said there were impacts in Ukraine in the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. In Dnipro, the military administration reported explosions. Two companies, a gas station and a house were damaged. A gas station employee was injured. Russia had massively attacked with missiles and drones, it said.
In Kiev, too, the anti-aircraft defense was active once more because of rocket fire. The head of the Kiev military administration, Serhiy Popko, said that fragments of a missile launched had damaged the roof of a shopping and entertainment center. A house was hit elsewhere. Cars in a parking lot were also damaged. There are no injuries, said Popko.
New attacks from the neighboring country were reported on Russian territory near the border with Ukraine. Accordingly, there was an explosion in the city of Krasnodar following a suspected drone attack. According to the authorities, an office building and a residential building were hit. Also in the Belgorod region, which was recently shaken by fighting, there were reports of new shelling of the border town of Graivoron. Heavily armed fighters with military technology penetrated there on Monday from the Ukrainian side. More than 70 attackers were “destroyed,” the Defense Ministry said in Moscow.
