Russian attack kills 19 in western Ukraine
A Russian missile and drone strike on the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil killed at least 19 people and wounded dozens, officials said Wednesday, updating a previous toll.
"Nineteen people were killed as a result of a massive combined Russian strike on the city. Another 66 people were wounded, including 16 children," the interior ministry said on social media.
Moscow has been intensifying its daily drone and missile barrages in recent months, targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and hitting a number of civilian sites ahead of winter.
In its latest wave of attacks overnight, Russia launched more than 470 strike drones and 48 missiles of various types, Zelensky said.
The attacks injured people in the northeastern region of Kharkiv and in the western region of Ivano-Frankivsk, local authorities said.
