Russia launches 101 drones against Ukraine, injures 27
Russia launched 101 drones against Ukraine in the Donestsk and Dnipro regions, injuring 27 persons.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine @ZelenskyyUa
“Throughout the night and into the morning, emergency rescue operations have been underway in the Donetsk and Dnipro regions.
“In Kharkiv, rubble is being cleared after a strike on apartment buildings. 27 people were injured, including three children. The youngest, a girl, is just three years old. Three people have been hospitalized.
“Unfortunately, there was one fatality in Odesa.
“My condolences to the family and loved ones.”
Zelensky highlighted that that the Russians launched 101 drones against Ukraine, most of them Russian-Iranian “shaheds”.
According to him, many regions were affected, and air raid sirens are blaring again across many regions this morning due to attack drones. In total, over the past week, there were around 1,270 drones, 39 missiles, and nearly a thousand guided bombs.
The Ukrainian president, therefore, declared: “We are strongly counting on our partners to fully deliver on what we have agreed.
“Air defense remains the top priority for protecting lives. We are also actively advancing agreements on investing in our domestic weapons production, including all types of drones.
“Special focus is on interceptor drones. We are contracting at full capacity.
“I thank all partners who are helping.”
