Russian missiles, drone attacks kills four in Ukraine

Following a second night of Russian aircraft bombardment that resulted in four fatalities, Ukraine announced on Tuesday that its air defence systems had shot down five missiles and sixty attack drones. 

One day prior to the midnight attacks, the Kremlin had unleashed one of its biggest-ever aircraft assaults against Ukraine, damaging energy infrastructure and killing many people. 

The air force announced on social media on Tuesday morning that Russia had fired 91 projectiles from various locations across the country, comprising 10 missiles and 81 attack drones with Iranian designs.

“Unfortunately, despite the effective work of our air defence systems, four people were killed and 16 were wounded,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on social media.

He said rescue work was ongoing at the impact sites and vowed a response to the attacks.

“Crimes against humanity cannot be committed with impunity,” he added in the post.
