It’s 7 a.m., an opportunity to look back on the events of the last few hours:
– The Russian city of Belgorod was the target of a new series of Ukrainian bombings late yesterday, a few hours after schools in the region were ordered to extend their closure during the holidays due to the risk of new attacks. The region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said at least two people were injured.
– Yesterday, fragments of ten downed Ukrainian missiles fell in inhabited areas and injured at least one person in Sevastopol, in annexed Crimea, according to its governor. “Ten Ukrainian missiles were destroyed over the Crimean peninsula by air defense forces,” the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed.
– The strategic command of the Ukrainian army congratulated itself on having “struck a command post of the Russian occupation forces near Sevastopol”. These attacks come against a backdrop of escalation of Russian strikes in Ukraine and Ukrainian strikes in Russia and in the occupied zones.
