Kiev is said to be responsible for the deadly rocket attack in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. That is what Russian UN representative Vasily Nebensia claims. Like the Kremlin, it also denies Moscow’s responsibility. However, Ukraine is said to have attacked two Russian control centers in the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian General Staff confirms.
“Ukrainian anti-aircraft forces shot down a Russian missile targeting an energy infrastructure object,” Nebensia said Tuesday evening at the UN Security Council meeting in New York. The anti-aircraft defenses of the Ukrainians were located in a residential area, which is contrary to international standards. Therefore, the rocket fell on a residential building, the top diplomat said. Kiev denies shooting it.
45 dead after rocket attack on house
Russia launched a massive missile strike against Ukraine last weekend. At least 45 people, including six children, were killed when a Russian missile hit a residential building in Dnipro. About 80 people were injured.
According to Kiev, the missile is a Ch-22 airborne cruise missile primarily used as an anti-ship missile. Its extremely high airspeed makes it virtually impossible for anti-aircraft fire to shoot it down. However, the missile is not considered to be particularly accurate. Ukraine’s anti-aircraft defenses have already denied being able to intercept such a missile.
According to its own statements, Moscow does not shoot residential areas
Before Nebenzya, the Kremlin has already denied responsibility for the deadly attack. Moscow is not shelling residential areas, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Like Nebensia, he also accused the Ukrainian anti-aircraft system of causing the tragedy.
Both cite Ukrainian politician Oleksiy Arestovych, who previously mentioned air defenses as a possible cause of the impact in an interview. Following sharp criticism, Arestovych has since apologized for his hasty speculation and resigned from his position as adviser to the presidential office in Kiev.
Ukraine attacked Russian control centers
However, on Wednesday morning, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the Ukrainian army had hit two Russian control centers, five makeshift bases of Russian troops, an ammunition depot, an electronic warfare system and a radar station. The army also shot down a Russian Su-25 plane.
Russian attacks were repelled later in the day
The General Staff added that the Ukrainian army has repelled Russian attacks in the past day near nine settlements, including Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region and Sil, Krasna Hora, Bakhmut, Klishchivka, Vodiane, Nevelske, Marinka and Pobieda in the region.
