Russia cynically comments on civilian deaths in Kyiv
The Russian Defense Ministry reported a strike on Kyiv, claiming to have hit military targets, but remained silent about the deaths of nine civilians and more than 30 wounded. The attack included 185 drones and 35 missiles, with air defense shooting down only two. Residential buildings in the Solomianskyi and Darnytskyi districts were destroyed.
The Russian Defense Ministry published a report on a nighttime strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, claiming successful hits on military industry enterprises and logistics centers. The report does not mention civilian casualties: nine dead, including a police officer, and more than 30 wounded, including four children. The destruction affected residential areas, including a partially destroyed five-story new building in the Solomianskyi district, as well as administrative buildings and the private sector. The attack included 185 strike drones and 35 missiles, including ballistic systems Iskander-M/S-400, Zircon/Onyx, and aviation missiles. Due to a shortage of interceptor missiles, air defense managed to shoot down only two missiles. The author notes that Kremlin statements diverge from the actual results of the shelling, with the main blow falling on civilian objects. Earlier, Kursor reported on a drone strike on a residential building in Odesa.
