Indian citizen among 12 killed in Russian overnight attack, says President Volodymyr Zelensky
This came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Tuesday that an Indian citizen was among 12 people killed in a Russian missile and drone strike across Ukraine. The attacks, which involved a significant number of jet-powered drones and ballistic missiles, damaged residential and civilian infrastructure in multiple regions. Zelensky stated that 12 people were killed and dozens more were injured as a result of the assault.
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the SCO Summit in Kyrgyzstan, Modi urged Putin to help end the conflict in Ukraine and emphasized India's support for peace efforts. In Kyiv, seven people were killed in an attack on a railway depot, while Boryspil suffered damage to a five-storey apartment building, resulting in 50 evacuations.
In Odesa, Russian strikes continued, leaving thousands without electricity. Zelensky attributed the high death toll to Ukraine's limited air defense capabilities and called for increased anti-ballistic system deliveries. He also thanked allies for their support under the PURL initiative.
