Woman killed after Russian forces shell residential area of Kherson, Ukrainian officials say
recaptured Kherson city and parts of the Kherson region in November after months of Russian occupation, but Russian forces regularly shell the city and surrounding areas from across the Dnipro river.It comes as air defence systems donated to Ukraine by Germany and the US are already yielding “significant results”, president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday.
He said Ukraine had managed to shoot down a “significant number” of the 65 different missiles and 178 drones fired by Russia in the past week using the US Patriot and German IRIS-T defence systems. Zelenskiy made the comments came after Moscow launched a deadly multi-wave assault across Ukraine, killing six people and destroying a blood transfusion centre in what the president separately called “a war crime of beasts”.In the Kaluga region of Russia, air defence system destroyed an aircraft-type drone over the Ferzikovskyi district, Vladislav Shapsha, governor of the region, said on the Telegram messaging app on Monday.“There has been no impact on people or infrastructure,” Shapsha said.
It was not clear who launched the drones, and there was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russia-controlled territory in Ukraine.Russian authorities, however, have blamed Kyiv for the increased number of drone attacks inside Russia this year. – Agencies
