Kyiv: One person was killed and five others were injured in an attack carried out by Russia on Tuesday night in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. As tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, Russia launched a barrage of missile strikes on Kyiv on Tuesday night.
It is said that Russia’s attacks in Kyiv are intensifying day by day, and that the number of types of weapons Russia is using in the assaults is increasing.
Following the Ukrainian Air Force’s announcement that multiple ballistic missiles were incoming, Al Jazeera reported hearing explosions in the Ukrainian capital.
This latest attack comes amid intensifying cross-border attacks from both sides, Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier, on Monday, seven people were killed when parts of a Ukrainian drone fell in a crowded beachside area in Gelendzhik, a tourist city in southern Russia, and four of the dead were children. In this incident, 58 people were injured; many of them are still receiving treatment in hospital.
These fatalities reportedly occurred when parts of the unmanned aircraft fell on the beach, and it is still not clear whether the drone crashed on its own or was shot down by Russia’s air defense systems.
Russian officials have said that Ukraine’s drone attacks are continuing. A nighttime drone attack in the Moscow region caused fires at several locations in an industrial area; a substation and an administrative building were damaged, and five people were killed and six injured.
Amid continuous airstrikes, civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure are mounting on both sides, indicating that the conflict is becoming even more intense.
