Russia attacked Ukraine with four Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles and 20 Shahed-136/131 suicide drones, over the course of four hours from late 12:20 am until 4:30 am on June 15, reported the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Russian missiles were launched at Dnipropetrovsk Oblast from Tu-95MS strategic bombers above the Caspian Sea. One was intercepted, while another hit industrial objects in Kryvyi Rih, just two days after the previous deadly attack on the city.
These facilities are in no relation to the army, Kryvyi Rih Mayor Oleksandr Vikul said.
A 38-year-old man was injured and taken to hospital in moderate condition after the attack, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhiy Lysak reported on Telegram.
Debris from the intercepted missile damaged a car. Other missiles caused fires that have since been extinguished. Gas pipelines were damaged. A tire fitting service and a bus were destroyed. The consequences of the enemy strike are still being clarified.
In all, five drones were intercepted.
In Odesa, Ukrainian air defence shot down all 13 Iranian-made Shahed drones launched from the southern direction, the regional military administration’s spokesperson, Serhiy Bratchuk, reported on Telegram.
An enemy operational and tactical UAV used for aerial reconnaissance in the eastern direction was also downed.
Russia continues to carry out its relentless air strike on Ukraine every night.
Six people were killed and at least 14 were injured in Odesa, Kostiantynivka, and Kramatorsk due to the Russian missile and drone the previous night.
12 civilians were killed and dozens were wounded in the missile attack on Kryvyi Rih on June 13.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
