Nine killed in escalating long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine

Al Jazeera · back to the audit

Long-range attacks have killed at least five people in Russia and four in Ukraine, according to local officials, as escalating long-range missile and drone attacks kill a mounting toll of civilians. A Ukrainian drone struck a warehouse in the Moscow region, killing five people. At least three people, including two children, were killed in Russian strikes on Sumy. An elderly woman was also killed in an overnight attack on the Mykolaiv. Seven people were killed and more than 50 injured when a Ukrainian drone struck a beach. Kyiv alleges that the online retailer, Russia's largest, plays a crucial role in Moscow's war effort by supplying dual-use items. Ukraine has not commented on the strike but has repeatedly said it does not deliberately target civilian sites. The number of non-combatants killed in both Russia and Ukraine is continuing to rise. Russian forces struck seven cargo vessels in the city's port. Reports suggest the drone was intercepted, causing it to crash into the beach.
