After a brief ceasefire weeks ago, Russia again attacked Ukraine with a missile which killed 11 people on Thursday. The strike also left 11 people injured.
Most of the damage has been caused to the housing in the Kyiv region, the service’s spokesperson Oleksandr Khorunzhyi said in a statement adding that around 100 rescuers are involved in the recovery process after the attack.
The US State Department, in a regular briefing on Thursday, condemned the attack on Ukraine and extended sympathies to all those who were hurt.
“As you all saw, Russia launched more missiles across Ukraine last night …On behalf of US, I want to extend sympathies to all those who are hurt and condolences to the families of those who are killed across Ukraine,” Principal Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department Vedant Patel said.
The attack came after US and Germany agreed to provide battle tanks to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict. 35 buildings were damaged in the missile strikes and two fires broke out. The missiles caused damage in 11 regions throughout Ukraine, Khorunzhyi said, according to news agencies.
