Russian strikes kill one, injure several across Ukrainian regions
Russian combined strikes on Ukraine's regions left injured people in Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Vinnytsia oblasts. In Zhytomyr Oblast, a missile damaged the home of veteran Oleksandr Shvetsov, whom hromadske has written about.
Regional administrations in Zhytomyr and Khmelnytskyi reported on the aftermath of the Russian attack.
Zhytomyr Oblast was targeted by Russian kamikaze drones and cruise missiles. One person was killed and another injured in the strikes.
Several civilian enterprises and private homes were also damaged. Among them was the home of veteran and activist Oleksandr Shvetsov. He said a Russian missile landed 20 meters from his house.
"The house is wrecked. The car and so on. But the main thing is I'm alive. Neighbors are alive. The animals, which I got into the house in time, too," he wrote, asking for help to rebuild his home.
"I've always fought for others. Always helped others. And never asked for anything for myself. But today I ask you, Ukrainians: help me restore my home, car and life that the Rascists are trying to steal from me for the second time," Oleksandr said.
