Video appears to show damage caused by debris from a
Ukrainian missile that officials in the Russian city of Kursk
say injured at least 13 people early on Sunday.
That's after President Vladimir Zelensky acknowledged for the first time
that Ukrainian forces were fighting in the surprise cross border
offensive. In his nightly video address on Saturday,
Zelensky said he had discussed with Ukraine's top commander the
actions to push the war into the aggressor's territory.
Ukraine is proving that it can indeed restore justice and
ensure the necessary pressure on the aggressor. Sunday marked
the sixth day of intense battles amid Kiev's largest incursion
into Russian territory since the start of the war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cast a Ukrainian attack as a
major provocation. Russia imposed a sweeping security regime in
three border regions on Saturday while its ally, Belarus
sent more troops to its border with Ukraine in the
city of Kursk. Footage showed a damaged nine story
apartment building on fire. It was not clear whether
there was further damage from the destroyed Ukrainian missile.
Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video
but could not independently verify the date it was filmed
. Meanwhile Russia's Defense Ministry said on Sunday, it
had destroyed 14 Ukrainian drones and four tactical ballistic missiles
overnight over the Kirk region. Additionally, 18 drones
were said to have been destroyed over other Russian regions
that Ukraine frequently attacks.
