Vinnytsia in central Ukraine, far from the frontline, mourned at least 23 people, including a 4-year-old girl with Down’s Syndrome, after a missile strike that Ukraine called a war crime. Russia said it had hit a military target.
At least three people were killed and 15 injured after a missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
Ukrainian rocket strikes have destroyed more than 30 Russian military logistics centres in recent weeks and significantly reduced Russia’s attacking potential, Ukraine’s defence ministry said.
Ukraine has received its first M270 multiple rocket launch systems, the defence minister said, without specifying the country that provided them.
Ukraine is using Western-supplied long-range weapons and 155mm “smart” shells to hit Russian ammo dumps and supply lines, forcing Moscow to rethink how it supplies fuel and ammunition to the frontline, a Ukrainian general said.
