| [NYPOST] Ukrainian rockets struck Russian forces in the country’s south on Tuesday and killed 52 people, Kyiv said. The attack, which has not been independently verified, apparently hit the town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region with long-range rockets. The rockets also destroyed Russian ammunition, including seven armored vehicles, Ukraine’s southern military command said. Ukraine said the strike signals their new counter-offensive to hit back at the Kremlin in the south with hundreds of thousands of troops. Russian officials said they had been attacked by HIMARS missiles, which have recently been provided to Ukraine by the US and hailed by Kyiv as a "game-changer" in its fight. "There are still many people under the rubble. The injured are being taken to the hospital, but many people are blocked in their apartments and houses," a Russian news agency quoted a military official saying. The Kremlin said so far at least seven people have died and around 60 are injured. |
