War in Ukraine: Zelensky reports dead and injured after Russian attacks

At least 3 people have been killed and over 20 injured in new Russian airstrikes in Ukraine, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The southern city of Krywyj Rih was hit by ballistic missiles, killing 2 and injuring 14, while 1 person was killed in Sumy and 6 were injured in Kyiv and its surroundings. Zelenskyy reported that rescue services were responding to the attacks and that a book market in Kyiv was among the targets.

He accused Russia of targeting civilian infrastructure and called on Western allies to provide air defense missiles, citing the use of North Korean-supplied missiles by Russia. Over 1,550 drones, 1,560 bombs, and 62 missiles and cruise missiles have been fired at Ukraine this week, Zelenskyy said.
