Ukraine-Krieg: Kiew meldet mehrere Tote und Dutzende Verletzte nach russischem Beschuss

Bei einem russischen Raketenangriff sind in der ukrainischen Hauptstadt nach Behördenangaben auch ein Wohngebäude und ein Kinderkrankenhaus beschädigt worden. Teile Kiews waren am Donnerstagmorgen ohne Strom.

In the eastern region of Charkiw, Ukrainian authorities report that at least ten people were killed and eight injured in a recent Russian rocket attack. The attack targeted a locality called Petschenihy, located approximately 55 kilometers east of Charkiw. Governor Oleh Synjehubow informed this via Telegram, noting that several civilian infrastructures were damaged, including ten private homes, a café, and shops.

The intensification of air strikes on both sides is evident, with Russia and Ukraine escalating their mutual airstrikes. Experts describe this as an escalation of violence. Russia has been intensifying their attacks with missile and rocket systems, while Ukraine has primarily been using drones and missiles. Meanwhile, Russian forces in the Ukrainian territory of Saporischshchya reported a drone attack on a bus stop in Enerhodar, resulting in one death and 15 injuries.

The victims were reportedly waiting for the bus to work when the drone strike occurred. These claims by the warring parties have not been independently verified. Russia initiated its war against Ukraine about four and a half years ago. Ukraine is defending itself against this invasion with Western military assistance.
