At least two people were killed and 30 injured after a Russian missile struck a hospital and veterinary clinic in Ukraine’s central city of Dnipro. Most of the 17 missiles and 31 Shahed drones launched by Kremlin forces overnight were shot down by Ukraine’s air defense. It was the latest in a bombing campaign that’s also targeted Kyiv 13 times so far this month.
(Bloomberg) — At least two people were killed and 30 injured after a Russian missile struck a hospital and veterinary clinic in Ukraine’s central city of Dnipro. Most of the 17 missiles and 31 Shahed drones launched by Kremlin forces overnight were shot down by Ukraine’s air defense. It was the latest in a bombing campaign that’s also targeted Kyiv 13 times so far this month.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva; US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham met with Ukraine’s president in Kyiv. Earlier, Chinese envoy Li Hui, tasked with promoting Beijing’s efforts to broker an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, met Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow after traveling to Kyiv last week.
Buildings in central Krasnodar, a large southern Russian city, were damaged in an explosion while air defenses shot down a missile over the neighboring Rostov region, according to local officials. Videos shared across Russian telegram channels showed what may have been a drone flying over Krasnodar, seconds before an explosion.
