The capital’s regional administration said “Four missiles and five Shahed drones were shot down over Kyiv,” referring to Iranian-made suicide drones Moscow has been deploying in swarms against Ukraine targets. Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubynets today described the scale of torture uncovered in Kherson as “just horrific”.
“An industrial enterprise has been hit. There is a big fire,” he said, later announcing that 23 people were injured, including a 15-year-old girl. The largest wave of Russian missiles on cities across Ukraine earlier this week cut power to millions of homes, but supplies were largely restored to people cut off within hours.
