The’most major’ missile attack by Russia injures thirty people in Ukraine
Early on Friday, Russia launched its biggest missile barrage of the war on Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Lviv, resulting in at least 30 fatalities and over 160 injuries.
As to the statement of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia “used nearly every type of weapon in its arsenal” and targeted residences as well as a maternity hospital.
As Russia’s air defenses, which were defeated on Friday, significantly improved, the air force of Ukraine declared that it had never witnessed so many missiles launched simultaneously, according to the BBC.
A spokesman for the Air Force claimed that Russia was using hard-to-intercept X-22 and other hypersonic, cruise, and ballistic missiles. The spokesperson also said that “we’ve never seen so many targets hit simultaneously.”
Out of 158 missiles and drones, the air force reported that 114 had been shot down.
This degree of destruction could only be brought about by a direct missile hit. For months, the damage and fatalities that Ukrainians continuously anticipated were primarily caused by falling debris. Now, a greater menace has reappeared.
With the exception of the early days of continuous bombing, this was “the most massive missile attack” of the war, according to Ukrainian Air Force spokeswoman Yuriy Ignat, who talked to AFP about the “record number” of missiles.
