1 Killed, 23 Injured in Russian Attacks Across Ukraine

At least one person was killed and 23 others were injured in Russia’s latest strikes on Ukrainian, officials said Monday.
One person was killed and seven wounded in the Kherson region Sunday, while in the Zaporizhzhia region, 16 people were wounded in a strike on the region’s capital overnight, authorities said. Zaporizhzhia region Governor Ivan Fedorov said four of the wounded, all women, were hospitalized.
In the Kherson region, Russian shelling and air strikes hit residential buildings, killing one 61-year-old woman and wounding seven people Sunday, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.
The attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the United States to present his plan to bring an end to the war.
Authorities shared photos of apartment buildings with balconies and windows blown out, as well as damaged cars.
“There was a ball of fire and an explosion here and it seemed very close to me,” an unnamed elderly woman said in a video released by the police.
Russia currently controls territory in both the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Ukraine’s air force said air defenses shot down three Shahed attack drones overnight and prevented another drone and two cruise missiles from reaching their targets.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
