Russia blasts Zaporizhzhia with glide bombs while Ukrainian drones kill 9

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian planes dropped eight powerful glide bombs in a span of 90 minutes on residential districts of the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and wounding dozens of others, regional chief Ivan Fedorov said Monday. Six people were killed by Ukrainian drone debris in Arkhipo-Osipovka, a small town on Russia's Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar region, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said, adding that 40 others were wounded. Neither side's claims could be independently verified. Russia attacked Ukraine with 181 long-range strike drones overnight from Sunday to Monday, the Ukrainian air force said, and said air defenses jammed and intercepted 163 drones, but 14 caused damage at 13 locations. Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces struck four bulk carriers carrying cargo for the Ukrainian armed forces, including three in the Black Sea and one in the port of Mykolaiv. Zelenskyy said: The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need. Anti-ballistic missiles must protect people — not sit in stockpiles. We will work very hard to make that happen this fall. Russia intercepted 131 Ukrainian drones over a number of Russian regions, as well as Crimea and the Black Sea. A Wildberries warehouse in the Vladimir region caught fire, 3 injured.
