Ukraine-Krieg: Russland startet erneut Luftangriffe auf ukrainische Städte
Der Ukraine mangelt es an Munition für ihre Raketenabwehr. Russland will das ausnutzen - und greift erneut ukrainische Städte an.
Kyiv - Russia has launched a fresh wave of missile attacks on Ukrainian cities overnight, with Kyiv and other major cities suffering casualties and damage, according to Ukrainian officials. At least five people were killed and 20 injured in the southern city of Saporischshcha, where city governor Ivan Fedorov reported on Telegram that industrial facilities and infrastructure had been targeted.
Initial reports from Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, stated that explosions had occurred in the capital, warning citizens to take shelter. Ukrainian emergency services were on the scene, while the Ukrainian Air Force warned that Russian missiles were also targeting Sumy, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv. Ukrainian forces, facing a shortage of missile defense ammunition after four and a half years of war, have increased their use of ballistic missile defenses, primarily the US-produced Patriot systems.
However, these deflection rockets remain insufficient. Concerns are growing in Kyiv that uninterrupted missile strikes could severely damage the country's infrastructure during the upcoming winter, endangering more lives in Ukraine.
