Moscow – Russia launched its largest swarm of drones in months against Ukraine, on the eve of the May 9 holiday, which celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany, and which Kiev commemorated a day earlier in a new symbolic break with Moscow.
Kiev’s mayor said Russia launched 60 Iranian-made kamikaze drones at Ukrainian targets, 36 of them at the capital, all of which were shot down. Debris hit several apartments and other buildings, injuring at least five people in the capital.
A missile torched a food warehouse in the Black Sea city of Odessa, where authorities said three people were injured.
It is the largest swarm of drones to date in a renewed Russian air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a hiatus since early March.
Kiev said Moscow was also making a last-ditch effort to try to capture the razed eastern city of Bakhmut, to hand President Vladimir Putin what would be its only prize for a costly Russian offensive in the winter, in time for World War II. Victory.
