At least three people, including a soldier, were killed on Saturday when Russian missiles hit railway infrastructure and a military airfield in central Ukraine, the governor of Kirovograd announced, nearly five months after the start of the offensive in Ukraine.
“Nine Ukrainian servicemen were injured and one soldier was killed. According to preliminary information, guards at an electrical substation were killed,” Andriy Raikovych, head of the Kirovograd region, told Ukrainian media.
Russian attacks in central Ukraine have resumed after a lull in fighting that focused on eastern Donbass, whose territory is now mainly controlled by Moscow forces.
13 Russian missiles
In a statement posted earlier on social media, Andriy Raikovych said that 13 Russian sea-launched cruise missiles fell near the town of Kropyvnytskyi, located in the Kirovograd region.
“Infrastructure facilities (located) outside the regional center (Kropyvnytskyi city) were targeted, in particular the Kanatove military airfield and a facility linked to the Ukrainian Railways,” Andriy Raikovych said.
The city of Kropyvnytskyi had about 220,000 people before the Russian invasion. It is located about 300 km south of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
