Russia launches new attack on cities, four dead

• At least four persons were killed by a drone strike on a residential area in the Kyiv.
• Two student dorms in the nearby city of Rzhyshchiv were attacked.
• Russia has annexed claim that a drone assault by the Ukrainians on their fleet was repelled.

At least four persons were killed by a drone strike on a residential area in the Kyiv region as a result of Russian forces attacking several Ukrainian cities.

In the early hours of Wednesday, two student dorms in the nearby city of Rzhyshchiv were attacked.

Rescue agencies reported that one of the injured was an 11-year-old.

Separately, officials in Crimea that Russia has annexed claim that a drone assault by the Ukrainians on their fleet was repelled.

Residents of the coastal city of Sevastopol reported hearing explosions.

Three “objects” that were aimed at the Black Sea Fleet, according to the director of Russia’s occupation authority Mikhail Razvozhaev, were destroyed, but Russian warships were unharmed.

The Ukrainian military, which earlier this week claimed to have destroyed missiles intended for the fleet at a rail hub in Dzhankoi, northern Crimea, made no comments.

Russian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that more than 20 “killer drones,” as well as missiles and shells, had been fired.

He said that another order to initiate attacks was issued every time “someone tried to hear the word ‘peace’ in Moscow,” in reference to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s departure from Russia hours earlier.

The 12-point Chinese peace plan, according to President Vladimir Putin, “can be taken as the basis for [the] settling of the conflict in Ukraine, whenever the West and Kyiv are ready for it,” he said on Tuesday.

The strategy offers no concrete recommendations and does not specifically demand that Russian troops withdraw from Ukraine’s sovereign territory.
