Kyiv, Aug. 9 (SANA) Over the course of the week, Russian invaders fired 61 missiles at Ukraine, including 56 ballistic missiles, as well as over 1,560 attack drones and 1,540 air bombs, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this on Facebook.
Ukrinform reported that Zelenskyy said that repair work is underway in Odesa and the surrounding region to restore power following a brutal attack on the energy infrastructure.
“All necessary services are involved, and the work will continue for as long as needed. Residential buildings and the port were also damaged overnight. This is, in particular, how Russia is systematically waging war against global food security. As of now, eight people are known to have been injured. Everyone is receiving assistance,” Zelensky wrote.
He also noted that in Kharkiv, a direct drone strike destroyed four floors of a residential high-rise building. “Dozens of people were wounded, and two people were killed. My condolences,” the president added.
“In Pavlohrad, there was an absolutely wicked strike near a shopping mall and on energy infrastructure. Nine people were injured in the city, including four children. There were also strikes on the Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Kherson, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions,” he noted.
As the president stated, Russia continues to rely on ballistic terror, which is not limited to just one city or community.
“This week alone, 61 missiles of various types were used against Ukraine, including 56 that strike along a ballistic trajectory. There were also more than 1,560 attack drones and 1,540 aerial bombs. Every such attack on human life serves as a constant reminder – we need more pressure, more sanctions against Russia, and more air defense for Ukraine. I am grateful to those who are helping,” Zelensky emphasized.
