At least seven people were killed across Ukraine between Thursday night and early Friday as Russia launched hundreds of drones at the country overnight.
Kyiv region Governor Mykola Kalashnyk said four people were killed in an attack on a factory that makes dairy products for children.
“The enemy attacked a peaceful civilian food industry enterprise,” Kalashnyk said in a post on Telegram.
Separate strikes on Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region killed two people, regional authorities said. A drone strike in the southern Zaporizhzhia region killed one woman, according to the Ukrainian state emergency service.
Ukraine’s air force said Russia fired at least 216 drones at Ukraine between late Thursday and early Friday, as well as two missiles.
Russia and Ukraine have intensified attacks against each other in recent months as U.S.-led efforts to end the war, now in its fifth year, remain stalled.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It’s quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you’re defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
