HEAVY RUSSIAN MISSILE STRIKES IN THE EAST AND SOUTH ARE REPORTED BY UKRAINE

  • 10/07/2022

Regional officials claim that Russian missile and rocket attacks have damaged towns and cities more extensively in eastern and southern Ukraine.

In an attack on the village of Siversk in the Donetsk area, four civilians perished, according to the local governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

The same region's Druzhkivka civilian neighbourhoods also took a hit. A huge hole occurred nearby and a supermarket was damaged.

In their attempt to seize the remainder of the Donetsk region during the previous 24 hours, Russian ground forces do not appear to have made any notable progress.

 Ukrainian officials also reported Russian missile strikes on parts of Kharkiv, in the north, Mykolaiv in the south and Kryvyi Rih, a southern city north-east of Mykolaiv.

Ukrainian forces are fiercely defending Mykolaiv, a strategic river port on a key route to Odesa, which is Ukraine's main export hub. The Russian navy is still preventing Ukraine from shipping grain out of Odesa.

Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk has urged residents to leave Russian-occupied parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south. The warning appeared to herald further Ukrainian counter-attacks.
