officials in kryvyi Rih, located in central Ukraine, reported that the city endured combined Russian attacks involving ballistic missiles and drones. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city’s defense council, described today’s attack as “unprecedented.”
He stated: “We have never seen anything like this before; a ballistic missile along with 28 drones. An industrial complex was destroyed but no one was killed.Workers were sheltering at the time.”
Elsewhere, Vinnytsia, another city in central Ukraine, suffered a heavy nighttime drone attack. Officials claim at least eight people were injured during this strike.
The attacks come amid an intensification of Russian air strikes across Ukraine. Over the past two months, Moscow has launched more than 500 drones daily against Ukrainian targets-most occurring at night.On July 9th (June 28), Kyiv reported an unprecedented assault involving 741 drones in a single night.
The escalation coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Monday that NATO will supply Kyiv with Patriot air defense systems and other weapons purchased from Washington under an agreement between Washington and NATO. Trump also warned Moscow that if it does not reach a peace deal with Kyiv within 50 days, Russia will face 100 percent tariffs-including those imposed on its trading partners.
