Russian missiles have attacked the Cherkassy region of Ukraine. Six people were injured in the town of Smela. 12 houses were damaged.
In Kiev, the death toll from this morning’s missile attack has risen to 8 people. The search and rescue operation continues.
The head of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry, Rustem Umerov, believes that Russia will be able to repeat the attack. He called today’s shelling of Ukraine the most massive in the entire war.
“It is obvious that with such stocks of missiles that the aggressor state has, they can and will continue such attacks,” Umerov wrote on Facebook. – For our part, we continue to work with partner governments to provide Ukraine with sufficient air defence equipment to protect our people from the deadly danger of future attacks.”
It also became known that the missile that violated polish airspace was russian. This is reported by the General Staff of Poland. The country’s authorities have put air defence systems on high alert.
Context: Out of 158 strike vehicles (missiles and drones) used by the russians to attack Ukraine on the night of 29 December, ukrainian air defence forces managed to shoot down 114, official data shows.
