AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In a recent Russian missile and drone barrage across Ukraine, at least four people were killed, including a woman and her child in Bohodukhiv. The attacks, which occurred on Monday, involved 11 ballistic missiles and 149 drones, according to the Ukrainian air force. Besides the fatalities, several others were wounded in regions including Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk. The strikes damaged residential areas, a gas pipeline, and critical energy infrastructure, leaving tens of thousands without power during freezing temperatures. Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of war crimes against civilians, while Russia has consistently denied deliberately targeting civilians since the start of the invasion in February 2022. Ukraine's foreign minister is calling for a complete EU entry ban on Russians participating in the war.
