According to reports from Ukraine, the Russian armed forces attacked targets in various regions of Ukraine last night, including eastern, southern, and northern Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military states that a total of 17 different weapon systems, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and attack drones, were deployed, as reported by the German news website tagesschau.de.
By their account, the Ukrainian forces shot down three drones and a cruise missile in response. The attack targets included industrial facilities, infrastructure, as well as both civilian and military installations.
According to Ukrainian reports, at least two people were killed and four others injured by Russian shelling in the south of the country on Tuesday evening. The Interior Ministry states that a missile attack by Russia on a food warehouse in the Mykolaiv region killed two civilians, and another person was injured. In the neighboring Kherson region, three more people were injured by artillery and air strikes, according to Military Governor Olexander Prokudin.
These claims have not yet been verified and/or confirmed by independent sources. Therefore, they should be considered with caution. In war, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately spread false information to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the opponent.
