At least 13 people were killed, and over 100 were injured after Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine on Tuesday, including a child. Russia deployed 656 drones and 73 drones, hitting Ukrainian cities Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Kyiv. Ukrainian officials claimed that Russia purposely targeted “civilian infrastructure” in its latest attack.“Apartment buildings were destroyed in Dnipro. 9 people died, including a child. Among the victims of the shelling was our rescuer, the deputy chief of the fire and rescue squad, Major Anton Yarmolenko,” said Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. He noted the attack on Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, mentioning that a three-year-old child was among the victims.
“Unfortunately, four people died as a result of the Russian shelling of Kyiv,” said Klymenko. “More than 60 residents were injured and sought medical help. Among those who received shrapnel wounds is a three-year-old child.”
Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said the fact that Russia attacked civilians was a sign that it was losing “on the battlefield.” He also blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin as a war criminal.
“The only reason for Russia’s overnight horrific attack against Ukraine with 656 drones and 73 missiles that killed at least 12, including children, and injured hundreds of civilians is that Putin is a war criminal and loser who has no cards except terror,” said Sybiha in a post on X.
