A two-year-old girl killed and at least 22 people injured in a missile strike near Dnipro
Russia has repeatedly attacked Kyiv since May, chiefly at night, ahead of a long-expected Ukrainian counteroffensive to reclaim territory, in what Ukrainian officials say is an attempt to inflict psychological distress on civilians.
Russian air attacks on Ukraine rose sharply in May from previous months and have continued into June. A two-year-old girl was killed and at least 22 people, including five children, injured after a missile strike late Saturday on residential housing in the town of Pidhorodne, north of Dnipro in east-central Ukraine.
In Saturday’s nightly video address the president urged Ukrainians: “please don’t forget to thank our warriors in person.”
