(Bloomberg) — Russian officials said bridges linking a road between Crimea and the Moscow-occupied part of Kherson region were struck by Ukrainian missiles. Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov didn’t directly address the claim, while saying on TV that “Everything happens for a reason.”
Russia fired six missiles aimed at critical infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk region in central Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian Air Force command said on Telegram. The attack included three ballistic Kinzhal missiles which Russia describes as hypersonic weapons. The Air Force didn’t report downing any of them, saying only that the barrage “missed targets.”
The US said it would provide an additional $1.3 billion toward the cost of reversing the devastation inflicted on Ukraine by Russia’s invasion, estimated by the World Bank at about $411 billion over the next decade. That figure will likely climb as fighting intensifies and costs related to this month’s dam breach rise.
