The Russian Federation this night launched a cynical strike with Russian-Iranian Shaheds and missiles on civilian infrastructure in Kyiv and other of our cities and communities, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Telegram.
"After the strikes on nuclear program facilities in Iran, there was a lot of noise from Moscow – the Russian leadership demonstratively condemned the ‘missile-bombing’ actions. Today, Moscow is silent," Zelenskyy responded.
He reminded that after the night attack, five apartment buildings were damaged in Kyiv alone. According to his data, as of now, six people are known to have died in Kyiv. One more person died during the strike on Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region.
"There, a Shahed hit a hospital. My condolences to all relatives and loved ones," the president wrote.
Currently, rescuers are clearing rubble and providing assistance wherever necessary. During the shelling, facilities in four regions were damaged: in total, there were 352 drones, including 159 “Shaheds” and 16 missiles. According to preliminary data, ballistic missiles, which Russia received from North Korea, were also used.
"A significant portion of the drones and missiles were shot down by our sky defenders. But not all. And everyone in countries near Russia, Iran, and North Korea should think about whether they can protect lives if this coalition of killers remains and continues to spread terror," Zelenskyy declared.
