Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin’s forces launch over 150 deadly glide bombs in huge air attack
Vladimir Putin’s troops have launched over 150 deadly glide bombs at Ukraine over the last day in a huge air attack, Kyiv’s military said.
At least 153 KAB missiles – winged explosives weighing up to 1,500 kilograms nicknamed the “building destroyer” – were dropped on Ukrainian towns and cities on Saturday, according to Ukraine’s general staff.
They were part of a huge air attack involving nearly 100 airstrikes and a missile attack in regions like Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, it added.
A military hospital was hit by an Iranian-made Shahed drone in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, which Kyiv claimed was a war crime. At least two people were killed and 25 injured in the attack on the city.
“[This was a] deliberate, targeted shelling of a Ukrainian medical institution by the Russian army. War crimes have no statute of limitations,” Ukraine’s general staff said.
It comes as Ukrainian government and military analysts said Moscow was preparing for a new offensive along the 621-mile frontline in Sumy, Kharkiv and Zaporizizhia.
“They’re dragging out the talks and trying to get the US stuck in endless and pointless discussions about fake ‘conditions’ just to buy time and then try to grab more land,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said.
