Three people have died and 19 others have been injured so far. Among the injured, one child, an 11-year-old boy, is in hospital in moderate condition. The rest of the victims were also hospitalized, six of them were “severe”.
Let’s remember last week Russia hits the Dnieper with an intercontinental ballistic missileAs a result, two people were injured.
According to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the target was the Yuzhmash facility, and the attack was carried out by an Oreshnik medium-range missile. Many experts are inclined to believe that this was an imitation of a nuclear attack to scare Ukraine’s Western partners and prevent the delivery of weapons.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, “Oreshnik” is the name of the project, the system itself is called “Cedar”. These ballistic missiles can fly at speeds above Mach 11. Presumably, to shoot them down, systems like the American THAAD or modernized Patriot are needed.
