Russian attacks on Ukraine continue with at least four people dead and 10 injured in the latest attack carried out by Russian forces, as announced by Ukraine, with Volodymyr Zelensky stressing that Moscow has launched 4,500 missiles throughout the war

A statement issued by the office of the Ukrainian president noted that several towns adjacent to the Russian-held power plant in Zaporizhia along the Dnieper River were hit by shelling. At the same time, dozens of residential buildings were damaged and power lines were cut, leaving thousands of citizens without electricity.

Ukraine has shot down more than 300 kamikaze drones

According Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ikhnat, Ukraine has so far shot down more than 300 Iranian Shahed-136 drones.

Drones have become a key weapon in Russia’s arsenal during the war in Ukraine and are often used to target vital energy infrastructure. However, Iran has denied accusations by Ukraine and the West that it supplies drones to Russia.

Russia had targeted dozens of missiles and unmanned drones at Ukraine’s power grid, causing widespread blackouts. Ukrainian forces have shot down 23 drones in the past two days alone.

Zelensky: Russia has launched 4,500 missiles

Alongside, the Russian president, Volodymyr Zelensky in a new message today and standing next to the wreckage of an Iranian drone shot down by Ukrainian forces, he accused Russia of launching more than 8,000 airstrikes and firing 4,500 missiles throughout the war in Ukraine. He promised, however, that Putin’s attacks on power plants would not break Ukrainian spirits.

“Bombardment will not break us – hearing the enemy’s anthem on our land is more terrifying than the enemy’s missiles in our sky. We are not afraid of the dark,” Zelensky said.
