In the city of Kyiv, a devastating series of attacks has been launched by Russia, leaving destruction and loss of life in its wake. Ukrainian military and local authorities have confirmed that at least four people have been killed and 37 others injured in the northern, eastern, and southern regions of Ukraine.
According to reports, the attacks began overnight and were mainly focused on the frontline regions of Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. Ukraine's Air Force issued a statement on the Telegram messaging app on Sunday, revealing that Russia had unleashed a barrage of strikes on its border regions. The Ukrainian government stated that it had recently carried out a surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region, in an attempt to prevent Moscow from launching such attacks.
The impact of these attacks has been felt deeply by the people of Ukraine. Local authorities reported that one person was killed and 16 others injured, including three children, in a missile attack on the Sumy region. Meanwhile, Oleh Sinehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, shared on Telegram that 13 people, including a four-year-old child, had been injured in the Russian attacks. Kharkiv city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, also stated that a gas pipeline had been damaged, and two houses were destroyed, with 10 others suffering damage.
The Ukrainian Air Force revealed that Russia had launched nine attack drones, but thanks to their air defense systems, eight of them were successfully taken down over the Mykolaiv region. However, the Air Force did confirm that Russia managed to launch an Iskander-M ballistic missile, an Iskander-K cruise missile, and six guided air missiles. The exact number of these missiles that were destroyed is still unknown.
As the day progressed, the attacks continued in the southern region of Kherson, where one person was killed, and six others were injured. This information was shared by Roman Mrochko, the head of Kherson city's military administration. In a separate incident, regional prosecutors in Sumy reported that a residential neighborhood in the Svesa village was hit by an aerial bomb attack, resulting in the death of two people and injuring two more.
As of now, there has been no response or comment from Russia regarding these attacks. Both sides have denied targeting civilians in this ongoing war, which began when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The situation remains tense and uncertain, as the people of Ukraine continue to suffer from the devastating consequences of these attacks.
