Koretsky reports destruction, damage in 9 regions after Russian shelling

Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhiy Koretsky reported destruction and damage in nine regions of Ukraine following Russian shelling overnight on Saturday. The shelling targeted civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings, enterprises, energy, storage, and transport facilities.

In Kamianske, Russian strikes resulted in the deaths of at least five people and injuries to five others. Emergency services are working to assess the damage, though the security situation limits their ability to reach all affected areas.

Koretsky emphasized that Russia deliberately targets civilian facilities, enterprises, and businesses. The goal of these strikes is not only to terrorize the population but also to cripple businesses, disrupt logistics, and exert additional pressure on the Ukrainian economy.
