At least 12 killed during spate of Russian attacks on Ukraine
Al JazeeraDeadly attacks come as Russia continues to stretch out Ukrainian forces in areas along the eastern front. Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least 12 people, including four children, as fighting intensifies during a series of offensives into several regions of the war-battered country. “Seven people, including two children, have been killed by a Russian missile strike in the Zaporizhzhia region,” Zelenskyy said on social media, calling for his Western allies to speed up weapons deliveries. “Any delay in decisions in this war means the loss of human lives.” Ukraine’s Interior Minister Igor Klimenko said 18 people – including four children – were also wounded in Vilniansk, 30km from the main city of Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine’s military said, “The total number of hostile attacks along the entire front line has now risen to 90.” Eastern Donetsk’s regional Governor Vadym Filashkin said Russian forces shelled populated areas 13 times over the past 24 hours.
