In the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, there were attacks from both sides on Sunday. According to Ukrainian officials, at least two people were killed in the Russian attacks, while three people were injured in a Russian ballistic missile attack in the capital Kiev. At the same time, four people are reported dead in a Ukrainian drone attack in Horlivka city of Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine.
Russian missiles targeted Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, early Sunday morning. After the blasts, a multi-storey building near the historical center caught fire. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said that many buildings, cars and parking lots also caught fire due to falling debris. Three people were injured in the attack, one of whom has been admitted to the hospital.
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that drone manufacturing facilities were targeted in the attack on Kiev. At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had earlier warned that Russia was preparing a major missile attack.
Attacks in Kharkiv and Zaporizhia also
One person was killed and at least six people were injured in a drone attack in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city. Two children are also among the injured. City Mayor Igor Terekhov gave this information.
One person was killed and at least six others were injured in a Russian glide bomb attack in the southern city of Zaporizhia. Zaporizhia has been a frequent target of Russian attacks and this area is about 20 kilometers from the front.
Ukrainian drone attack in Russian occupied area
There is also news of Ukrainian drone attack in the city of Horlivka in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine. According to local officials appointed by Russia, four civilians have died in this attack. The city’s Russian-appointed mayor, Ivan Prikhodko, said the city had been under attack since the early hours of Sunday.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that overnight the Russian military shot down 133 Ukrainian drones over Russia, the Black Sea and Crimea. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and incorporated it into its territory, which Ukraine and most of the international community do not recognize.
Drone attacks increased between the two countries
Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted military and energy targets inside Russia in recent days. Due to these attacks, there have been reports of increasing fuel shortage in Russia and pressure on military supplies. On the other hand, Russia is continuously carrying out missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities.
On Friday, at least 10 people were killed and about 100 people were injured in a major Russian attack near Kiev. The ongoing retaliatory attacks between the two countries are also affecting the ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on Sunday that Ukraine’s position is now stronger than since the war began. He said that it is very important for Ukraine to get continuous support from its allies.
Romania shoots down third drone in three days
Meanwhile, NATO member country Romania shot down a drone that had entered its airspace for the third time in three days. Romanian President Nicolas Dan called this incident unacceptable and intolerable.
He said that on Sunday morning an F-16 fighter plane of the Romanian Air Force shot down a drone over Romania’s territorial waters. A day before this, a drone that had entered Romania from Ukraine was shot down in a remote area near the border. Also on Friday, a drone was shot down north-east of Bucharest.
The President of Romania said that the investigation into Friday’s incident has confirmed that the drone is of Shahed category. Russia has been using this type of drone for attacks on Ukraine. Since Russia’s full-scale attack in February 2022, Russian and Ukrainian drones have several times come near or into the airspace of other NATO countries, including Romania.
