KYIV: Ukraine said Saturday it had downed 130 Russian-launched drones across the country at night, as international efforts to end the three-year war intensify.
Kyiv’s air force said the Iranian-made Shahed drones were downed over 14 regions and that Moscow had also attacked with two ballistic missiles.
Kyiv also said that the number of wounded in a Russian strike a day earlier on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown Kryvy Rig rose to 14.
On Friday, officials said Russia attacked a residential area of the central Ukrainian city — regularly targeted throughout Moscow’s more than three-year invasion.
“Fourteen people were wounded, among them two children,“ the head of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergiy Lysak, said on Telegram.
Ukrainian prosecutors said the wounded children were a two-year-old and a 15-year-old.
Lysak said the missile attack destroyed over a dozen large apartment buildings and 10 private houses.
