The Ukrainian internal ministry said on Saturday that at least 11 people, including five children, were killed and 30 were injured in Russian missiles and drone attacks on Ukraine’s eastern city of Dobropilia.
According to the ministry, Russian forces attacked Dobropilia with ballistic missiles, several rockets and drones, causing damage to eight multi-storey buildings and 30 vehicles. The attack resulted in 11 people, including five children, and injured 30 others.
On the Telegram Messenger app, the ministry said, “While extinguishing the fire, Occupiers again damaged the fire truck.”
Rescue workers who cleaned the photographs and debris of the partially destroyed buildings surrounded in flames were also published by the Ministry.
The ministry also said that three civilians were killed in a separate drone attack on the Kharkiv region in the Northeast.
“Such attacks suggest that Russia’s objectives have not changed. Therefore, it is important to perform our best to protect life, strengthen our air rescue and continue to increase sanctions against Russia. Everything that helps Putin collapse war.”
On Friday, Russian forces damaged the infrastructure of Ukrainian energy and gas in their first major missile attacks, as the US had stopped intelligence with Ukraine, pressurizing Kev, President Donald Trump wants a sharp end for war.
American military aid and break in intelligence may reduce Ukraine’s aerial rescue as it runs less on advanced missiles and struggles to track the attacks effectively, saying military analysts.
Dobropillia, the house of about 28,000 people before the war, is in the Donnetsk region of Eastern Ukraine, from 22 kilometers (13.67 mi) to the north of Pokarovsk’s major hub, which has been attacked by Russian soldiers for weeks.
The ministry also said that at least three were killed and 7 were injured and injured in a separate drone attack on Kharkiv area overnight.
The Ukrainian army stated that Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with two Iskander-M ballistic missiles and one Iskander-K cruise missile as well as 145 drones.
He said that the Air Force shot a cruise missile and 79 drones. The army said that another 54 drone did not reach its goals due to electronic counterers.
