**Russia Continues Aerial Attacks on Ukraine**
For the third night in a row, Russia has launched airstrikes on Ukraine, causing damage and destruction in several regions. The attacks come after the biggest aerial assault of the war so far, which killed at least 12 people and drew condemnation from US President Donald Trump.
In Kyiv, the capital city, residents were put under air raid alert for six hours as Russian missiles and drones targeted the surrounding region. While there was no major damage reported in the city itself, the surrounding areas suffered significant losses, with three districts reporting damage to homes and businesses.
The southern Odesa region was also hit by Russian drone strikes, which caused fires and destruction to private households. A 14-year-old boy was injured in the attack, and a residential building was completely destroyed. Emergency services quickly extinguished the fire, but the incident highlights the ongoing threat faced by civilians in Ukraine.
**Regional Governors Report Damage and Destruction**
In other parts of the country, regional governors reported damage and destruction caused by Russian attacks. In Khmelnytskyi, governor Serhiy Huber said that private households and enterprises were damaged, but thankfully, there were no civilian casualties. However, nearby Kharkiv was under attack, with explosions heard in some districts.
In contrast, the central Cherkasy region reported a different story. Governor Vasyl Shevchuk said that 25 Russian drones had been neutralized within their region overnight, and while there were no reports of damage or injuries, it’s clear that Ukraine is doing its best to defend against these attacks.
**No Comment from Russia**
The Kremlin has maintained its stance on the conflict, calling it a “special military operation.” However, with each new attack, it becomes increasingly clear that the real impact is being felt by civilians, not just soldiers. The world watches as this conflict continues to unfold, with innocent lives lost and destroyed in the process.
As the situation develops, one thing is certain: Ukraine will continue to fight for its freedom, and international pressure on Russia to cease these attacks must intensify.
