Ukraine and Russia exchange attacks as Kyiv buys new ATACMS
Overnight drone and missile attacks killed several and injured dozens more in both Ukraine and Russia. As Kyiv seeks to defend itself it has now reportedly finalized a deal to buy US missile systems from Turkey.
Overnight, drones and missiles sent by Russia struck several Ukrainian cities, resulting in deaths and injuries in Belgorod, Novorossiysk, Odesa, and Kharkiv. In Belgorod, at least five people were killed and 25 injured after several apartment blocks were targeted. Russian authorities claimed to have shot down over 150 Ukrainian drones overnight.
The port city of Novorossiysk, a key facility for Russian oil exports, was also hit. Odesa, another critical port for Ukrainian agricultural exports, suffered attacks on its oil facilities, affecting more than 2,500 rockets to be acquired from Turkey. The US is currently reviewing the sale, which has an estimated value of $283 million (€245 million).
