Reuters (wire, via The Star Malaysia) · back to the audit

KYIV, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Russia fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Ukraine's capital Kyiv and the surrounding region on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people and destroying warehouses and logistics centres of major retailers, Ukrainian officials said. Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today. Zelensky added that partner delays or unwillingness to provide anti-ballistic systems lead directly to such horrific casualties and destruction. The air force said Ukraine downed nearly 90% of the 115 drones launched by Russia but failed to intercept a single one of the 24 ballistic missiles and four Zircon cruise missiles. Epicentr: This is a deliberate attack on Ukrainian manufacturing, logistics, jobs and the country's ability to recover. Iryna Chechotkina of Rozetka said: Devastation and pain. A feeling that I must carry on despite everything. ROZETKA is still operating. Russia's Defence Ministry said it had struck seven logistics centres in Kyiv and the region.
