Russian and Ukrainian attacks kill 5 people a day after deadly shopping mall drone strike by Moscow
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least three people in Ukraine, officials said Saturday, while a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s Krasnodar region killed two others, a day after a strike on a Ukrainian shopping center killed 16 people.
On Saturday, Russian drone and missile strikes claimed at least five lives across Ukraine, according to officials. A Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Krasnodar region resulted in two deaths and two injuries, following a deadly drone strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, which killed 16 people the previous day. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that one person was killed and another injured when ballistic missiles struck railway infrastructure in Kyiv, the capital.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces targeted a locomotive depot in the attack. Additionally, a Russian ballistic missile strike in the Kyiv region killed one person, while a Ukrainian drone attack in the same region claimed one life and wounded another. In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian drone strikes killed one person overnight, with three more wounded in a minibus attack in the regional capital.
Russian forces intensified their attacks on Kyiv, exploiting Ukraine's limited U.S.-made Patriot air defense interceptors, the only weapon capable of neutralizing the missiles.
