a Russian strike leaves at least six dead and eleven injured in the south of the country

At least six people were killed and eleven others injured in a Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rig, Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Wednesday June 12. “All necessary services work on site”, added the Ukrainian president, himself from this city in the south of the country, on his Telegram channel. He posted a video taken by rescuers at the scene, showing them searching the still-smoldering debris of a building for survivors.

The president once again called on Ukraine’s Western allies to deliver new anti-aircraft defense systems to ward off Russian attacks. “Modern air defense systems can provide maximum protection for people, our cities and our positions. We need it as much as possible.”, insisted Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian president insisted on this request on Tuesday, during a trip to Berlin.

Ukraine was targeted overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday by a new barrage of Russian missiles and drones, which notably targeted the capital kyiv. Almost all of them were intercepted by air defense, according to the authorities.
