Ukraine destroys 19 out of 21 drones launched by Russia over six regions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overnight on Wednesday, Ukraine\u2019s air defenses destroyed 19 out of 21 drones launched by Russia over six Ukrainian regions: those of Kherson, Mykolayiv, Dnipropetrovska, Kirovohradska, Khmelnytskyi, and Lviv. The drones flew from Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia and Cape Chauda in Crimea, Ukraine\u2019s Air Force said.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Air Force repelled the attack with fighter jets, anti-aircraft missile systems, and jamming equipment. Mobile fire groups of Ukraine\u2019s defense forces joined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian drone attacks on Wednesday damaged energy infrastructure in central Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe enemy targeted an energy site in central Ukraine overnight. Some equipment was damaged. The emergency service and police were deployed to the site,\u201d the ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overhead power lines and electrical equipment were damaged by the attack in Lviv region where 285 consumers lost power. Repair works were underway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kyiv region, a high voltage power line was disconnected from the grid. It was put back into operation throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Poltava region, a number of households and municipal buildings lost power after equipment was disabled at one of the substations. Power was restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Volyn and Odesa regions, overhead power lines were briefly disabled. A number of households lost power. Power supply was restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s prosecuting authorities identify Ukrainian serviceman decapitated by Russian forces in Donetsk region<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Ukrainian serviceman beheaded by Russian forces in Donetsk region has been identified, Ukraine\u2019s Prosecutor General, Andriy Kostin said on Wednesday. He did not name the victim, saying that identification procedures were still underway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prosecution has also identified the Russian commanders who allegedly ordered to decapitate a Ukrainian soldier. The information is being verified, Kostin added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another killing of a war prisoner \u201cserves as further evidence that complete disregard for international law and basic human morals is the state policy of the terrorist state of Russia,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery world leader who shakes hands with Putin must realize that he is shaking hands with a person who tolerates barbaric murders.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office of the Prosecutor General said on Tuesday that Russian forces in the Volnovakha district of Donetsk region had beheaded a Ukrainian serviceman. \u201cWhile conducting aerial reconnaissance at one of the combat positions in Donetsk region, the Ukrainian military discovered a damaged armored vehicle of Ukraine\u2019s defense forces. There was the severed head of a Ukrainian defender on top of it,\u201d the Office of Ukraine\u2019s Prosecutor General posted on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kostin said they had received information that Russian commanders had ordered their subordinates not to take Ukrainian soldiers as prisoners but to kill them with inhumane cruelty\u2014by decapitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets said such cruelty was Russia\u2019s \u201cintentional and purposeful\u201d practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin, Kim Jong Un sign new pact that includes mutual defense pledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korea\u2019s Kim Jong Un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership pact that includes a pledge of mutual defense if either country is attacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press conference following the meeting, Putin said the agreement \u201cincludes the provision of mutual assistance in case of an aggression against one of the signatories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin said Western deliveries of advanced, long-range weaponry including F-16 fighters to Ukraine for strikes against Russia breached major agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an article published in North Korea state media ahead of the visit, Putin thanked Pyongyang for showing \u201cunwavering support\u201d for Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and said Russia was \u201cready to closely work together to bring more democracy and stability to international relations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian media said Kim Jong Un further promised \u201cfull support and solidarity with the Russian government, army and people in carrying out the special military operation in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2024, South Korean defense chief said North Korea had supplied 7,000 containers of munitions to Russia since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korea\u2019s munitions factories are \u201coperating at full capacity\u201d to produce weapons and shells for Russia, according to South Korea\u2019s defense minister, Shin Won-sik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. earlier said, supporting the claim with satellite imagery, that North Korea had delivered more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
