Kyiv,
Ukraine (AP) —
Russia attacked
Ukraine with a barrage of missiles and drones, killing one person in the
Kyiv region,
Ukraine’s Emergency Service said on Sunday. Another eight people, including a child, were rescued from under the rubble of destroyed buildings, the service said. The attack caused damage and fires to erupt in five districts in the suburbs of
Kyiv. In the village of Putrivka in the Fastiv district, emergency first responders worked on saving people buried under debris.
Russia also struck energy infrastructure in
Ukraine’s southern Odesa region, resulting in significant fires, which were later extinguished, the emergency service said.During the four years since
Russia launched an all-out war on its neighbor, and despite a new push over the past year in U.S.-led peace efforts, Ukrainian civilians have endured constant aerial attacks.
Russia has also ramped up attacks targeting the country’s energy grid, leaving Ukrainian civilians without electricity and heating amid harsh winter conditions.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Sunday that
Russia’s overnight barrage had included 297 drones and 50 missiles of various types, of which 274 drones and 33 missiles were shot down or neutralized. Of those remaining, 14 missiles and 23 drones struck 14 locations, it said. Three missiles were unaccounted for. Separately, an explosion in
Ukraine’s western city of
Lviv killed one person and injured 25, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post on Sunday. One person has been arrested over the incident, which is unrelated to
Russia’s aerial attack on
Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian air defenses destroyed 86 Ukrainian drones overnight,
Russia’s Ministry of Defense said Sunday.A security guard was injured and a fuel tank set alight when two Ukrainian drones hit an oil depot in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Luhansk, Moscow-installed leader Leonid Pasechnik said.
