War in Ukraine. The third night of massive Russian attacks on Kiev
The General Staff of Ukraine announced on Tuesday morning about the latest Russian bombing of Ukrainian cities. Over the last 24 hours, the aggressors have carried out massive rocket attacks throughout Ukraine. Russia has used cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and various types of drones. The forces and means of the Air Force managed to shoot down all the missiles flying to Kiev. In total, the Russians carried out 62 air strikes and 54 bombings using rocket artillery. There are civilian deaths. Residential buildings and infrastructure facilities were damaged.
The Ukrainian army reports that the Russians are focusing their efforts on taking over the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. Over the past day, units of the defense forces repulsed 27 attacks there. The General Staff estimates that in the occupied territories, repressions against the inhabitants are intensifying. In the Kherson region, Russians are searching private houses. They check documents and contents of mobile phones in an attempt to intimidate residents. They say they’re looking for partisans.
Over the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian air force has carried out 15 strikes on areas where Russian troops and equipment are concentrated. Together with missile units, it destroyed three military material and weapons depots, as well as three enemy vehicles.
