KYIV: Russia and Ukraine exchanged missile and drone strikes early Sunday, resulting in more homes and utility buildings destroyed, officials from the warring neighbors said.<\/p>\n
Kyiv came under Russian missile attack and witnesses said they heard a loud blast shaking the capital city soon after midnight Saturday, the military administration of the Ukrainian capital said on its Telegram messaging app.<\/p>\n
In the southern Russian region of Voronezh, a woman sustained a leg injury from Ukraine\u2019s overnight drone attack that also resulted in several homes and utility buildings catching fire from falling drone debris, the governor said.<\/p>\n
Air defense units destroyed about 15 Ukrainian drones over the region, Governor Alexander Gusev, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe threat of further drone attacks remains,\u201d Gusev said in the post early on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Reuters could not independently verify Gusev\u2019s report. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strike in the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion on Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n
Kyiv says that its attacks inside Russia are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to Moscow\u2019s war efforts and are in response to Russia\u2019s relentless strikes on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The Russian defense ministry said that its units destroyed 41 drones just before midnight on Saturday over Russian regions bordering Ukraine and over the waters of the Black Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
