A view shows a heavily damaged residential building hit by a Russian missile, amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine, in Uman, Cherkasy region, Ukraine April 28, 2023.
In the central city of Uman, at least seven people were killed and 17 wounded when a missile hit an apartment building, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. In the southeastern city of Dnipro, a missile struck a house, killing a two-year-old child and a 31-year-old woman, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said. Three people were also wounded in the attack.“This Russian terror must face a fair response from Ukraine and the world,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote in a Telegram post alongside images of the wreckage. “And it will.”
Friday’s attacks were the first coordinated missile strikes on such a large-scale since an apparent easing off of a Russian campaign of air strikes on civilian infrastructure. The Kremlin had said on Thursday that it would welcome anything that could bring an end to the war closer, referring to a telephone call between Zelenskiy and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday.
