A 12-year-old girl was one of the four killed and at least 70 injured after a 12-hour Russian drone and rocket attack on Ukraine, with the capital Kiev on the toughest attack.
The Air Assault, which took place at night and until Sunday, was the first big bombing, because a similar attack killed at least 21 people last month.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy condemned the “mean” bombing that lasted more than 12 hours and concerned nearly 600 drones and a few dozen rockets.
The news of the destruction came when the Ministry of Defense Van Denmark said that the drones had observed at various of the locations of his armed forces at night for a second consecutive day.
NATO said it will upgrade his mission in the Baltic Sea after reports of drone raids in Denmark.
Colonel Martin O’donnel, a spokesperson for NATO, said that “we will perform even more improved vigilance with new multi-domain assets in the Baltic sea area, including Denmark, under Baltic sentinel”.
He said that the NATO leaders had constantly had contact with Danish leaders about the recent drone incidents and that the assets “would include” multiple intelligence, monitoring and exploration platforms and at least one air defense frigate “.
Separately, Germany said that after a request from Denmark, the armed forces would offer military support for the coming top of the European Union in Copenhagen later this week in Copenhagen in Copenhagen
In Ukraine, Mr Zelensky said that Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv and Odesa regions were also affected in the renewed Russian attacks.
Zaporizhia’s governor Ivan Fedorov said that three children-two boys, 11 and 12 years old and a nine-year-old girl, until the 34 people were injured in the region.
Ilona Kovalenko, a 38-year-old resident of a five-storey building in the Solomianskyi district of Kyiv that was beaten, described that he woke up by an explosion that crushed windows.
She said that the 12-year-old girl, named Oleksandra, who died in the attack, was her neighbor’s daughter.
“A neighbor kept beating on our door. She was completely covered with blood and shouted,” Help, save my daughter, “said Mrs. Kovalenko, who fled the building with her grandmother after the strike.
“Unfortunately she died on the spot,” Mrs Kovalenko added. “We are in shock, to be honest.”
The Lord Zensky promised that Ukraine will “go back” and called on the US and Europe to curb their Russian oil and gas imports.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responded to the attack and said: “We must maximize the costs of further escalation for Russia”.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that it had carried out a “massive” attack on Ukraine with the help of long-distance air and at sea-based weapons and drones to touch military infrastructure, including airports.
The attack also caused military reactions in neighboring Poland, where fighter jets were deployed early on Sunday when Russia struck goals in western Ukraine, according to the Polish forces.
