Russia accuses Ukraine of grenade attacks

Two villages in Russia's western Bryansk region have been shelled by Ukrainian forces, but no one was injured, regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said in a series of posts on the Telegram messaging app on Friday.

Russia announced that it had successfully defended itself against attacks coming from Ukraine, as its airstrikes in Kiev resulted in the deaths of three people, including a nine-year-old girl and her mother, who were unable to enter a shelter for to be protected from air attack.

Both sides are engaged in tactics aimed at lowering overall morale and weakening military capabilities, as a Ukrainian counter-offensive against Russia's 15-month-old occupation is expected in the near future.

According to the general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia carried out 12 missile attacks on targets inside Ukraine in the last 24 hours. Also, in a Facebook post, it was said that Russia carried out 36 airstrikes on Ukrainian towns and villages.

The war has left tens of thousands dead, wreaked havoc on cities in Ukraine and sparked a surge in attacks on Russian soil.

Russia's Defense Ministry said it had successfully repelled three cross-border attacks near the town of Shebekino and accused Ukraine of using what it described as "terrorist formations".

The Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), an extremist paramilitary organization made up of ethnic Russians who support Ukraine, claimed to be involved in fighting inside Russia. They announced on Telegram, accompanied by images of fighters firing weapons, that the second phase mentioned by their commander had begun, referring to a preliminary incursion.

Ukraine rejects claims that its military is involved in these incursions into Russia's Belgorod border region, insisting they are being carried out by Russian volunteer fighters.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, reported that Ukrainian armed forces had repeatedly bombarded Shebekino with Soviet rockets, setting fire to a dormitory and damaging an administrative building.

According to him, at least nine civilians have been injured and some children, women and the elderly have been evacuated. In unverified videos, a large building in Shebekino is seen engulfed in flames.

Ukrainian authorities issued a warning late Thursday across much of the country, warning people of the possibility of Russian airstrikes.

No access to shelter

In Kiev, Ukraine reported that it had successfully intercepted and destroyed 10 ballistic missiles and Iskander missiles in Russia's 18th attack on the capital since early May.

However, a tragic incident occurred when missile debris fell near an air raid shelter while a nine-year-old girl, her mother and another woman were trying to seek shelter, resulting in their deaths.

Presidenti ukrainas Volodymyr Zelenskiy, gjatë fjalimit të tij të natës me video, theksoi rëndësinë e mbajtjes së strehimoreve të aksesueshme dhe shprehu vendosmërinë e tij për të parandaluar përsëritjen e ngjarjeve tragjike që ndodhën në Kiev natën e kaluar.

Misioni monitorues i të drejtave të njeriut i Kombeve të Bashkuara në Ukrainë dënoi ashpër vdekjet në Kiev, duke zbuluar se gjashtë fëmijë humbën jetën dhe 34 të tjerë u plagosën vetëm në maj. Në mënyrë shqetësuese, misioni raportoi se gjithsej 525 fëmijë u vranë që nga fillimi i pushtimit rus.

Rusia hedh poshtë akuzat për shënjestrimin e qëllimshëm të civilëve ose përfshirjen në krime lufte, megjithatë forcat e saj ushtarake kanë shkaktuar dëme të mëdha në qytete të Ukrainës dhe kanë goditur vazhdimisht zonat e banuara me civilë.

President Vladimir Putin's administration says Russia is conducting a "special military operation" to annex parts of eastern and southern Ukraine in order to "denazify" the country, protect its Russian-speaking population and defend its borders against perceived aggressive ambitions. western./ Rel
