Russian Missile Strike in Ukraine
On Thursday, Russian strikes across Ukraine claimed the lives of 11 people and injured an additional 11, according to the nation’s emergency services.
After a significant new wave of Russian attacks targeting the pro-Western nation’s electrical infrastructure, forcing emergency blackouts in several locations, Ukrainian emergency services claimed on Telegram that “eleven persons died and another eleven were injured.”
A day after the US and Germany agreed to send tanks to Kiev, attacks take place. Canada has also declared that it will give Ukrainian soldiers four Leopard tanks.
While Ukraine’s top general asserted that Ukrainian air defences destroyed 47 of the 55 missiles fired by Russian forces towards the nation, Oleksandr Khorunzhyi, the spokesperson for the state emergency service, revealed the fatality totals on national television.
He was quoted by The Kyiv Independent as saying that this number reflects all fatalities from the missile and drone attacks that occurred overnight and in the morning.

According to The Guardian, Russian authorities on Thursday designated the independent news website Meduza as a “undesirable organisation,” thus banning it from operating there and forbidding any Russian from working with Meduza or its journalists.
