Ukraine-Krieg: Junge bei Luftangriff auf Kiew getötet
Russland greift die Ukraine zunehmend mit schnellen Jet-Drohnen an, eine wirksame Abwehr fehlt noch. In der ukrainischen Hauptstadt gibt es erneut eine tödliche Attacke.
In the early hours of a Ukrainian air raid on Kyiv, a teenage boy was killed when a Russian missile hit a high-rise building, according to police. At least seven other residents of the apartment block sustained injuries, the city's police reported on Telegram. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the tragic incident. The sound of counterfire overhead was followed by the drone's jet propulsion flight and its impact, a dpa reporter witnessed.
An air alert was only issued shortly afterward. Ukraine is still developing effective defenses against Russia's advanced Shahed drones with jet engines. Another fatality was reported from Odessa following night-time Russian airstrikes. In response to Ukrainian attacks on refineries and factories, Ukraine continues to target oil and industrial facilities in Russia via drone strikes.
Reports on Telegram claim that a refinery in Perm on the Ural, 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine, and a refinery in Novoschachinsk in southern Russia were also hit. Other targets include an electronics factory in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on the Volga and a chemical plant in Mykolaiv. Russia has been waging war against Ukraine for over four and a half years, aiming to subjugate the nation. Ukraine continues to defend itself with Western support.
