KYIV: A missile strike on a residential building killed six and wounded dozens in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown on Monday , as Russia said it stepped up strikes against military facilities in response to attacks on its territory, including Moscow.
One of the strikes hit a large nine-storey residential apartment block, punching a huge hole in the facade that destroyed flats on several floors and sparked a fire. In response,"the intensity of our strikes against Ukrainian military facilities ... has been considerably increased," Shoigu said. The Kremlin responded Monday, describing the strikes on the capital as an"act of desperation" by Ukraine following setbacks on the battlefield.
Ukraine began its long-awaited counteroffensive in June but has made modest advances in the face of stiff resistance from Russian forces on the frontline.
