Russian strikes kill 12 Ukrainian civilians in reprisal for bridge attack
Russia launched multiple missile attacks into the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia overnight, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens in an apparent reprisal for a blast that damaged a Crimean bridge, authorities said Sunday.
The missile strikes caused one high-rise apartment building to partially collapse and blew out windows in adjacent buildings. The attacks came hours after an explosion Saturday caused the partial collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia, damaging an important supply artery for the Kremlin’s war effort.
Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, responding to the Russian barrage, said Ukraine "urgently needs more modern air and missile defense systems" to protects its cities.
"Russia continues its missile terror against civilians in Zaporizhzhia," Kuleba said. "I urge partners to speed up deliveries."
