"Act of terror by the Russians"
People flee: Massive explosions in Russia
Several people have been killed and dozens injured in a Russian attack on a supermarket in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk. The Ministry of the Interior published photos of the firefight in the ruins of the building.
Videos showed large, black clouds of smoke and the supermarket appears to have been completely destroyed.
The shopping center is located in a residential area of the city.
"Act of terror by the Russians"
"This is another targeted attack on a busy place, another act of terrorism by the Russians," said the head of the Donetsk region, Vadym Filashkin, on Telegram.
"Russian terrorists"
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote about the attack on X: "Russian terrorists hit an ordinary supermarket and a post office. There are people among the rubble. A rescue operation is underway and everything is being done to save them."
He continued: "Russia will be held accountable for this terror, and we will do our best to ensure that the world continues to stand with Ukraine to support our defense and save the lives of our people."
Drone strikes on several regions of Russia
Three days after the surprise advance by Ukrainian troops on the Russian region of Kursk, Ukraine has meanwhile launched drone attacks on several regions of Russia.
Massive explosions in Lipetsk
After an attack on a military airfield near the city of Lipetsk around 300 kilometers north of the Ukrainian-Russian border at night, massive explosions occurred in an ammunition depot.
Videos are said to show the detonations:
Air alerts were also triggered in the neighboring regions of Kursk, Bryansk, Belgorod and Voronezh, as well as in Crimea. According to the Russian authorities, over 70 drones were intercepted. Governor Igor Artamonov announced on Telegram that a state of emergency had been declared around Lipetsk to deal with the consequences of the explosions. Four villages around the military airport were to be evacuated.
A large exodus has apparently begun in the region:
Public transportation was stopped in Lipetsk and the surrounding area, according to the governor. There were power cuts due to damage to a power plant. Nine people were injured as a result of the attacks. The military airport is a good 280 kilometers from the Ukrainian border as the crow flies.
Ukrainian attacks were also recorded on the annexed Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea. Three Ukrainian drones and a "Neptune" missile were shot down over the sea off the port city of Sevastopol, according to the governor of the city, Mikhail Rasvoshayev, who was appointed by Moscow. Three naval drones were also destroyed. "There was no damage to civilian objects in the city," emphasized Rasvozhayev on Telegram.
Nevertheless, videos of explosions and fires were circulating on social networks, which are said to have been recorded mainly around the Belbek military airport.
