Kyiv is seeking to respond with long-range strikes into Russia.
KYIV – Russia launched more than 100 missiles and around 100 attack drones at Ukraine during the morning rush hour on Aug 26, killing at least five people and striking energy facilities nationwide.
“It was one of the biggest combined strikes. More than a hundred missiles of various types and about a hundred Shahed drones. And, like most previous Russian strikes, this one is just as sneaky, targeting critical civilian infrastructure,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram. Interfax news agency cited Russia’s Defence Ministry as saying on Aug 26 that its forces used high-precision weapons to strike important energy infrastructure in Ukraine that it said supported the military-industrial complex.
The air force said Russia used 11 TU-95 strategic bombers during the attack on Aug 26, as well as other weaponry.
