UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENCES have shot down more than 30 Russian cruise missiles and drones in Moscow’s sixth air attack in six days on Kyiv, according to local officials.
A 68-year-old man and an 11-year-old child were wounded in the attack, with private houses, outbuildings and cars sustaining damage from falling debris, according to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office. Moscow’s strategy could backfire, however, according to the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank.
Ukrainian air defences intercepted all 15 cruise missiles and 21 attack drones, Ukraine’s chief of staff Valerii Zaluzhnyi said.Recent cross-border raids have also rattled those regions of Russia and put the Kremlin on guard.“Russian commanders now face an acute dilemma of whether to defences in Russia’s border regions or reinforce their lines in occupied Ukraine,” the UK Ministry of Defence said today.
