At least 14 people were killed and 37 wounded, including five children, in Russian rockets and drone attacks on the Ukrainian city of Dobropillia and a settlement in the Kharkiv region overnight, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
The Russian armed forces attacked Dobropillia with ballistic rockets, several rockets and drones, which, according to the ministry, damage eight multi -storey buildings and 30 vehicles. The attack led to the death of 11 people, including five children, and injured 30 more.
The ministry also reported that three civilians were killed and seven were wounded in a separate drone attack on the Kharkiv region in the northeast.
“Such strikes show that Russia’s goals have not changed. It is therefore important to continue to do our best to protect life, strengthen our air defenses and increase sanctions against Russia. Everything that is financed by Putin has to collapse,” said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Facebook.
On Friday, the Russian armed forces damaged the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure on their first major rocket attack since the US secret services took part in Ukraine in Ukraine, and put up Kyiv when US President Donald Trump strives for a quick end of the war.
The break in the US military aid and the secret services could undermine the air defense of Ukraine, since they are not effective in advanced rockets and difficulties in having to pursue attacks as effectively, say too little, say military analysts.
Dobropillia, in which there are around 28,000 people before the war, is located in the Donetsk region in the east of Ukraine, 22 kilometers from the front line north of the most important center of Pokrovsk, which have attacked the Russian troops for weeks.
In the middle of the US efforts to sit at the negotiating table, the pages continue to participate in active hostility to achieve an advantage.
A tank in the Kirishi Oil Refinery by Surgutneftegaz, one of the largest Russia, was damaged by falling debris during a great Ukrainian drone attack overnight, said the local official.
The Russian armed forces have made efforts in the past few weeks to throw Ukrainian troops from Kursk when Kyiv’s armed forces held a lightning instrument across the border last August.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday that its troops recaptured three villages in the Kursk region from the Ukrainian armed forces.
Reuters could not confirm the Battlefield report independently.
