Russian air defense on Sunday shot 59 Ukrainian drones focused on the southwest areas of Russia. One person died in the attacks in the Rostov region, said the local governor Juri Sľusar. The number of victims of Russian attacks on Kiev has increased to three, writes TASR, according to reports of Reuters, AFP and AP.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Air Force shot 29 drones over the Rostov region bordering with Ukraine. Another 20 drones were destroyed over the Astrakhan region, the ministry said on the telegram platform.
The attack has required one victim
Sľusar announced that the attack had required one victim. “As a result of the drone attack, a car was ignited. One person died in the car,” wrote the governor on the telegram.
The governor of the Astrachan region Igor Babuškin claims that the debris of the downed drones hit the house and damaged the car. According to him, there were no injuries.
Reuters points out that it has not been able to verify this information independently. Ukraine has not yet commented on the attack. During the more than three years of war, both tents reject claims that they would focus on civilians. However, thousands of civilians, most Ukrainians, died in the war, Reuters writes.
On the night of Sunday, Russia, which released 147 drones in Ukraine, also took attacks. Ukrainian air forces have shot down 97 of them and 25 others did not achieve targets due to Ukrainian countermeasures, writes AP. The attacks were focused on the Ukrainian metropolis of Kiev, but also hit Kharkov, Such, Černihivská, Odecka and Donetská area.
Kiev City Military Administration on Telegram announced that three people, including a five -year -old child, died in Russian attacks on Kiev. Another ten people suffered injuries.
