Russian drone swarm lashes Ukraine despite ICC war crimes warrant
The ICC’s war crimes warrant for Russia hasn’t stopped the relentless attacks on Ukraine. On Friday night, Russia unleashed 16 drones targeting Kyiv and Lviv.
Drone barrage shot down – but damage remains
The Ukrainian Air Force blew out 11 of the incoming drones, defending key regions, but the assault still caused casualties and destruction. Moscow launched these drones from the Sea of Azov’s eastern coast and Russia’s Bryansk province.
Heavy Russian shelling continues
In just 24 hours, Ukraine faced 34 air strikes, a missile hit, and 57 rounds of anti-aircraft fire. The relentless bombardment hit:
- Donetsk province: One dead, three injured in shelling.
- Kherson province: Seven houses and a kindergarten damaged by falling debris.
- Zaporizhzhia city: Rockets destroyed a catering business and damaged homes overnight.
Russia’s unyielding attacks underline the growing civilian toll despite international outrage and legal actions.
