After sweeping airstrikes that killed more than 30, Ukraine is preparing for new attacks by Russian ground forces. The General Staff said on Tuesday that the massive shelling was a preparation for new attacks. President Zelenskyy said there have been 34 airstrikes since Saturday. The Ukrainian army has launched a counter-offensive on Kherson, which is occupied by Russian troops.
An arms depot was attacked in the city of Nowa Kachowka. About a howitzer and military technology were destroyed. In addition, the enemy “lost” more than 50 soldiers.

State-run Russian news agency Ria Novosti reported at least seven dead, four missing and dozens injured after the attack on Tuesday morning, citing the pro-Russian government deployed in Nowa Kakhovka.

Many people were buried under the rubble and hundreds of houses were also damaged. The attack on Nowa Kakhovka also led to an explosion at a fertilizer warehouse there, a representative of the responsible authority said, according to Russia’s Tass news agency.
According to Russian information, a US-supplied Himars missile launcher was used in the Ukrainian attack on Nowa Kakhovka. However, that too could not be verified initially.
US: Iran supplies drones to Russia
According to the United States, Iran is preparing to supply up to several hundred drones to Russia and train Russians on the plane. Among them are those who could be armed, according to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for four and a half months. Kiev has recently announced several times that it plans to recapture areas lost since then – including using Western weapons. Civilians were called to flee – for example in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson.
