A Russian missile strike targeting civilian infrastructure in the western Ukraine region of Ivano-Frankivsk killed one boy, prosecutors said today.
Attacks of this nature are infrequent in the Western region.
“The missiles hit territory near a private house in the Kolomyia district, where a family with three children lived. An 8-year-old boy died as a result of the shelling. Information about other victims are currently being verified,” the prosecutors added in a statement.
Ukraine’s air force has said that Russian forces fired four Kinzhal hypersonic missiles at an airfield in western Ukraine, with one of the missiles hitting a residential area.
“One Kh-47 missile was destroyed within the Kyiv region. The rest hit near the airfield. Civilian facilities and infrastructure were hit, and one of the missiles hit a residential area,” the air force said in a statement.
