U.S. ambassador condemns Russia’s latest overnight attack
The diplomat went to X to deliver her remarks, Ukrinform reports.
“Air alerts and explosions sounded all night around Kyiv as Russia launched multiple missile attacks, killing a man and his 4-year-old son. A terrible reminder that Russia has not stopped its illegal invasion of Ukraine’s sovereign territory and its bombing of peaceful civilians," the post reads.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, a father and his four-year-old son were killed in Kyiv region as a result of a Russian missile attack. Their bodies were retrieved from under their household’s rubble after it was hit. Another three people were seriously injured, including a child.
Ukraine's air defense shot down 53 of the 57 Shahed kamikaze drones that the Russian invaders launched at Ukraine overnight Sunday. The combined strike also involved four DPRK-produced KN-23 ballistic missiles, launched from Voronezh region.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said Russia had fired over 30 missiles and more than 800 bombs on Ukraine over the past week alone.
