Three killed after overnight Russian drone strikes on Kyiv high school

Last week, Putin was charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) charged Putin over the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia since the start of the war. Under international law, attacks against civilian targets also amount to war crimes. ‘Over 20 Iranian murderous drones, plus missiles, numerous shelling incidents, and that’s just in one last night of Russian terror against Ukraine,’ President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Twitter. Suggesting Russia did not want peace in Ukraine after almost 13 months of war, he said: ‘Every time someone tries to hear the word ‘peace’ in Moscow, another order is given there for such criminal strikes.’ Read the full story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11889167/Russian-drone-strike-Kyiv-high-school-kills-three-Putins-latest-barrage-missile-attacks.html?ito=msngallery

The Ukrainian military said it had shot down 16 out of 21 drones launched at Ukraine overnight by Russia. Russia did not immediately comment on the reports. Meanwhile, the Russian navy ‘repelled’ a drone attack on the port of Sevastopol in Moscow-annexed Crimea, the Kremlin-backed governor of the city said. The peninsula, seized by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, is home to Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet and has been hit by a series of drone attacks since the Kremlin’s offensive. The attack came just four days after President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Sevastopol, and the day after Ukraine said a shipment of Russian cruise missiles had been destroyed in the town of Dzhankoi, in the north of the peninsular. ‘In total, three objects have been destroyed,’ the Russian-installed governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Telegram.

He said military personnel had shot at the drones with ‘small arms’ and that ‘air defence was also working.’ Razvozhayev added there were no casualties and claimed no ships had been damaged, but said that the explosions blew out windows in nearby buildings. These included the Moscow House cultural centre, a well known building that is beyond the port. But Razvozhayev downplayed the attack, saying the navy ‘confidently and calmly’ repelled it. He urged calm saying the ‘situation was under control.’ In a later post, he dismissed reports that people were leaving Crimea, saying it was a ‘lie’ spread by Kyiv. ‘Information is spreading about evacuations from the peninsula by ferry crossings and other such nonsense,’ he said. Read the full story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11889167/Russian-drone-strike-Kyiv-high-school-kills-three-Putins-latest-barrage-missile-attacks.html?ito=msngallery
