Russia launches 405 drones and 28 missiles at Ukraine, targeting energy facilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russia carried out a mass missile and drone attack on Ukraine\u2019s energy facilities overnight into Wednesday, killing six people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s Air Force said Russia had launched 405 drones, including around 250 Shaheds, and 28 missiles toward Ukraine, including 11 Iskander-M\/KN-23 ballistic missiles, nine Iskander-K cruise missiles, four Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles and four Kh-59\/69 air-to-surface guided missiles. Ukraine\u2019s air defenses shot down or otherwise neutralized a total of 349 aerial targets, including 333 drones of various types, eight Iskander-K cruise missiles, six Iskander-M\/KN-23 ballistic missiles and two Kh-59\/69 air-to-surface guided missiles. Seventeen drones disappeared off radar after likely being disabled by electronic warfare systems.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main target for the attack was the region of Kyiv, the Ukrainian Air Force said. The regions of Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Cherkasy, Chernihiv and Odesa were also affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve missiles and 55 attack drones hit target in 26 locations, and drone debris fell in 19 sites, it added.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six districts of the capital, Kyiv, were affected by an overnight Russian attack. Two people were killed and at least 30 others injured, the city\u2019s mayor Vitaliy Klychko said. The strikes damaged high-rise apartment buildings, a medical facility, non-residential buildings and garages. Emergency power cuts were imposed in the city.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman, a 12-year-old girl and a six-month-old baby were killed in the village of Pohreby, in the Brovary district, east of Kyiv, after strikes caused their home to catch fire, according to Mykola Kalashnyk, head of Kyiv regional military administration. A man, born in 1987, was killed in the Brovary district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman, born in 1941, was rescued from a burning house in the same district, Kalashnyk added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian drone strike on Kharkiv hits kindergarten, killing one person<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A drone strike on Kharkiv on Wednesday hit a kindergarten, killing one man and injuring ten others, including a five-year-old girl, the city\u2019s mayor Ihor Terekhov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 48 children were evacuated to safety following the attack, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three explosions rocked the city on Wednesday morning after an air alert was declared and the Ukrainian Air Force warned of a drone threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President, Volodomyr Zelenskyi, said on X: \u201cAll the children have been evacuated and are now in shelters. Preliminary reports indicate that many are showing acute stress reactions. There is no justification for a drone strike on a kindergarten, nor can there ever be. Clearly, Russia is growing more brazen. These strikes are Russia\u2019s spit in the face to everyone who insists on a peaceful resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
