LIVE – War in Ukraine: Russian missiles kill at least six people in the Kharkiv region

Two people were killed in two Russian strikes in the Bakhmut district in eastern Ukraine, the Prosecutor General announced on Sunday.

On Friday, Russia announced the deployment of patrols equipped with Kinjal missiles over the Black Sea. “There are already Russian aircraft patrols over the Black Sea, but we learn that these patrols will be more frequent,” explains Jérôme Garro, LCI correspondent in Moscow, who recalls that the Kinjal are the “dagger missiles “, which can go at more than 10,000 km/h.

“These hypersonic missiles have already been used by the Russian army to strike positions in Ukraine,” he explains. “What is new is that we are going to have more planes over the Black Sea, which will come face to face with American planes, so we increase the risk of slippages and accidents. “It’s a way for Moscow to raise the tension a little more.”

At least 17 people were injured on Saturday by Russian missile fire on a postal depot in the Kharkiv region, local authorities reported. A previous report this Sunday morning reported 14 injured, some of whom were in serious condition. Six people were killed in these strikes.

“Analysis of the debris continues at the scene in order to establish the exact number of injured and dead,” Suspilne, spokesperson for the region’s prosecutor’s office, told public media.

Three people were injured in the Russian strike on residential buildings in the town of Kupiansk, in the Kharkiv region, reports the governor of the region on Telegram, already targeted on Saturday. The three injured are 15, 17 and 63 years old and were hospitalized, adds Oleg Sinegoubov. Two of them are in serious condition.

Ukraine also says it shot down three drones and a missile launched overnight from Saturday to Sunday.

In its daily report on the situation in Ukraine, the British Ministry of Defense estimates between 150,000 and 190,000 the number of Russian soldiers killed or seriously injured since the start of the war. The total number of injured, including minor, and deaths in the Russian army would be between 240,000 and 290,000, adds the ministry in a tweet published this Sunday.

At least six people were killed and 14 injured Saturday by Russian missile attacks on a postal depot in the Kharkiv region in northeastern Ukraine, local officials reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a video on social media of what appears to be a badly damaged warehouse next to debris and a container bearing the logo of Ukrainian postal operator Nova Pochta.

“The six people killed and 14 injured in the attack by the occupiers were employees of the company who were inside the Nova Pochta terminal,” said the governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegoubov. “The victims, aged 19 to 42, were injured by shrapnel and blast (from the explosions),” he added.
