Ukrainian drone strikes on southern Russia killed a 9-year-old boy and set fire to a major oil terminal, officials said.
In this photo provided by Ukraine's 24th Mechanized Brigade press service, servicemen of the 24th Mechanised Brigade fire a 2s1 self-propelled 122mm howitzer towards Russian positions near Chasiv Yar town, in Donetsk region, Ukraine, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024.
He posted photos of what he said was the aftermath of the attack, showing a low-rise house with gaping holes in its roof and front wall flanked by mounds of rubble. The Ukrainian strikes came a day after Russia fired 93 cruise and ballistic missiles and almost 200 drones at its neighbor, further battering Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, around half of which has been destroyed during the war. Rolling electricity blackouts are widespread, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy charged Friday that Moscow is “terrorizing millions of people” with such assaults.
The strike was in retaliation for Wednesday’s Ukrainian attack using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMs, on a Russian air base, it said.
