Russian attacks

Russia continues its chaotic shelling of Ukraine with various types of missiles and kamikaze drones.

Just yesterday, on August 11, the Russian army once again attacked Ukraine with missiles. The occupiers launched four Kinzhal ballistic missiles towards the Kolomyia airfield in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.

One missile was successfully intercepted within the Kyiv region, but the others hit Prykarpattia. An 8-year-old boy tragically lost his life as a result of the attack.
