11 Killed in Russia’s Fresh Missile Attack on Ukraine

Russia fired a series of missiles at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Thursday killing at least 11 persons on Thursday. This attack came a day after Germany and America promised to provide heavy tanks to Kyiv.

This recent Russian attack seems to be a retaliatory move against the west. Kremlin said it perceived the tanks being provided to Ukraine “as direct involvement in the conflict”.

Ukraine’s emergency services said, as a result of Russia’s latest missile strikes, 11 people were killed and 11 others were wounded. The Ukrainian army claimed that said its forces destroyed 47 out of the 55 missiles launched by Russia.

Since October, Russia has regularly fired missiles at energy infrastructure across Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Energy Minister German Galushchenko alleged that Russia is trying to “create a systemic failure in Ukraine’s energy system.”
