Attacks early on Monday injured four people in the Kyiv region, regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said, as air raid alerts stopped metro trains crossing the Dnipro for a fifth day. Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had launched nearly 1,500 drones at Ukraine in four days, more than half of them jet-powered. Both sides have been aiming at commercial logistics, and a Ukrainian attack struck a logistics hub in Yekaterinburg, where a high-rise was hit.
Attacks early on Monday injured four people and damaged warehouses, an apartment block and a retail outlet in the Kyiv region, regional governor Tymur Tkachenko said. Near round-the-clock air raid alerts kept metro services stopping and starting, leaving passengers waiting on platforms, and halted trains that cross the Dnipro. Russian drone waves have now reached a fifth day over the capital.[1]
Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday that Russia had launched nearly 1,500 drones at Ukraine in four days, more than half of them jet-powered, and that the aim was to wear Ukrainians down. A strike set fire to a Nova Poshta courier terminal in the Odesa region, and a jet-powered drone injured two people at an industrial site in Kryvyi Rih, local officials said. Both sides have been aiming at commercial logistics: Russia has hit warehouses serving Ukraine's largest supermarket chains and its postal service, while a Ukrainian drone attack struck a logistics hub in Yekaterinburg.[1]
A drone struck a high-rise apartment building in Yekaterinburg on Monday afternoon while Ukraine targeted a logistics hub of the online retailer Wildberries, local officials and Russian media said. Sverdlovsk region governor Denis Pasler said four people were injured, and Wildberries said staff were evacuated and the facility was not damaged. Artyom Zhoga, President Vladimir Putin's envoy to the Urals Federal District, confirmed that several apartments were damaged; independent media quoted residents describing several fires across the city, and those accounts have not been independently verified. Russia's defence ministry said it had intercepted 239 Ukrainian drones overnight across the country and in annexed Crimea. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported at least six drones downed on approach to the capital, and airports introduced temporary flight restrictions.[2]
