Nine Ukrainians, including four children, were injured today in Russian shelling in the town of Voznesenk, located not far from a nuclear power plant in the Mykolayiv region, regional governor Vitaly Kim announced.
Aged between 3 and 17, “the children are all in serious condition,” Kim wrote on the Telegram platform, adding that one girl lost an eye in the attack.
Voznesenk is almost 20 km as the crow flies from the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Privdenukrainsk and almost 70 km from Mykolayiv.
The blow hit a residential building and several houses in Voznesensk, which has about 30,000 residents, the state emergency service said on its Facebook account, posting images of a damaged building.
The region of Mykolayiv, which is regularly hit by heavy Russian shelling, borders that of Kherson, which has been almost entirely held by Russian troops since Moscow launched its offensive into Ukraine in late February.
“Voznesenk. The country of terrorism called Russia hit a residential building,” Ukrainian presidential administration chief Andriy Germak complained on Telegram.
“Our task is to ensure that not only the current generation of Russians will be held accountable, but also their children and grandchildren. Russia will pay for everything,” he added.
The Ukrainian military also reported this morning on Telegram that it shot down four Russian Kalibr cruise missiles near the city of Dnipro (central-east) that were launched from the Black Sea, with the help of an S-300 anti-aircraft system.
The exiled mayor of Melitopol, a city in the Russian-occupied Kherson region, Ivan Fedorov, said on Telegram this morning that the Ukrainians bombed a Russian military base in that occupied city.
On the ground, the Ukrainian military reported Russian attack attempts mainly in the Donetsk region, near Bakmut, Zaitseve and Kondema regions. “Fighting continues,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement earlier today.
