Must read

Ukrainian forces targeted a substantial Russian military equipment storage site in the Kursk region. The strike, captured on video, shows a massive explosion, highlighting the intensity of the ongoing war.

The footage, widely shared on social media, depicts the moment a Ukrainian missile hits the storage facility, resulting in a dramatic and fiery blast.

The blast marks one of the most severe blows to Russian military infrastructure in recent weeks.

Russian authorities reported a series of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Sunday that left four people dead.

Additionally, Russia‘s continued aerial bombardment of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine claimed at least one life and injured four others over two days.

Tragedy also struck in Sevastopol, a port city in Russian-annexed Crimea, where three people, including two children, were killed by debris from intercepted Ukrainian missiles, according to Mikhail Razvozhayev, the city’s Moscow-installed governor. Nearly 100 people were reported injured in the incident.

The Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, saw one fatality and three injuries when three Ukrainian drones attacked the city of Grayvoron, stated regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

The Russian Ministry of Defence announced that air defences had intercepted 33 Ukrainian drones over the Bryansk, Smolensk, Lipetsk, and Tula regions overnight, with no casualties or damage reported.

A fresh assault on Kharkiv on Sunday resulted in one death and four injuries, local officials confirmed. Mayor Ihor Terekhov revealed that the city had been targeted by a guided bomb.

This followed Saturday’s Russian attack on Kharkiv, where four aerial bombs hit a residential building, killing three people and leaving 41 others injured, as reported by Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov.

In response to these ongoing attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for enhanced air defence support from Ukraine’s international partners.

“Modern air defence systems for Ukraine — such as Patriots, accelerated training of our pilots for F-16s, and most importantly, sufficient range for our weapons — are truly necessary,” Zelensky said in a video address.

Meanwhile, in the Kyiv region, two people were wounded by falling debris when Ukrainian air defences shot down two Russian missiles overnight, according to Ukraine’s air force commander Mykola Oleschuk.

In the partly occupied Donetsk region, Russian attacks on Saturday resulted in two deaths and four injuries, regional Governor Vadym Filashkin reported.
