At least eleven people, including a minor, have been injured after a new series of Russian air attacks launched during the past night against Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The bombings have impacted residential buildings and office buildings and are added to the five deaths and more than 40 injured registered since Friday in other Russian attacks on different areas of the country.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has denounced that "the attacks hit civilian infrastructure even before the air raid siren sounded" and has pointed out that, in addition to the capital, the regions of Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv have also been affected.
To this count, at least one dead and 29 injured, including a minor, are added due to previous bombings carried out by Russia late on Friday on the Zaporizhzhia region, as well as another four deaths, one of them a child, and 17 injured in Sumy, according to administrator Oleg Hrihorov.
Zelensky has detailed that, during the night, Russia launched more than 120 drones and twelve missiles, six of them ballistic, which managed to overcome Ukrainian air defenses. For this reason, the leader has reiterated the urgency for the country to sign the necessary license agreements as soon as possible to produce its own Patriot air defense systems, which Kyiv has been demanding for months.
