Russia’s Kamikaze drones attacked Ukraine’s regions of Kyiv and Odessa on Thursday as missiles dropped on essential cities during the Kremlin’s fourth day of the bombing.
Russian missiles targeted an apartment block in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of five persons. As per Vitaliy Kim, the regional governor of Mykolaiv, one of the victims was an 11-year-old kid. According to Kim, the youngster was saved from the rubble after spending six hours there before ever being taken to a local hospital, where he subsequently passed away.
Damages
Unsure if he was counted in the initial number of deaths, Kim also stated that there was one man was killed in the wreckage of a demolished bus terminal in Mykolaiv. The Ukrainian city of Nikopol, located all across Dniper River from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, was also severely damaged by artillery fire.
Air raid sirens continued to sound throughout Kyiv and Odessa due to Russia’s newly purchased fleet of Iranian-made Kamikaze drones, even though early reports suggested no fatalities were associated with the sluggish weapon. On Thursday, the Ukrainian air defense claimed shooting down four Russian cruise missiles.
After the Kerch Bridge, a vital supply line between Russia and the seized Crimea was destroyed, the Russian shelling resumed. The Kremlin labeled the strike a “terrorist” act but has not been attributed to Kyiv. As Russian forces claimed to have gained some progress in Donetsk, Ukrainian forces continued to gain control of other cities in the Kherson region in the south. Both regions are one of the four Russia asserts it annexed due to an invalid constitutional referendum last month.
