Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on the capital of Ukraine, Kiev. This is the third missile attack by Russia targeted by Kiev this month. However, Kiev claimed that they were able to prevent the Russian missile attack. The extent of the damage is not yet known. On the other hand, the forces of Ukraine counterattacked in the Kursk region inside Russia. They destroyed another bridge there. Earlier, Ukraine destroyed two important bridges in the Kursk region. The head of the Kiev military administration, Shehri Popko, said on the messaging app Telegram that a third attack targeted Kiev in August. Each attack is given a six-day break.

Popko claimed that Russia used ballistic missiles made by North Korea in this attack. Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk claimed eight Russian attack drones had been destroyed. Five of the eight missiles used in the attack on Ukraine were destroyed. This includes missiles launched at Kiev. Officials in Kiev say that there were no casualties in the attack in the capital, Kiev. However, the governor of Kiev region, Rushlan Kravchenko, said that 2 privately owned houses were destroyed and 16 houses were hit by missile debris. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia uses bombs and missiles knowingly where it is attacking. This is intentional Russian terrorism. He said, targeting Russian cities and villages, Russia has attacked more than 40 missiles, 750 bombs and 200 drones in a week.

After this attack by the Russian forces, a new missile attack warning was issued in Kiev and its surrounding areas, especially in the central and northeastern areas of Ukraine.

Two and a half years ago, Russian forces launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine and currently control 18 percent of the country’s east and south. Russian President Vladimir Putin has given a condition that he is willing to sit in peace talks if Ukraine gives up its claims to the areas under its control. Ukraine and its Western allies have rejected the claim.

From August 6, Ukraine started attacking the Kursk region inside Russia. In the meantime, they have claimed to control an area of ​​1,150 square kilometers and 82 military installations of Russia.

Ukraine claimed last Friday that they destroyed two important bridges over the Sim River in Kursk. Meanwhile, during the attack on Kiev yesterday, Ukraine announced the destruction of another bridge over the Zhavano River in Kursk. Ukraine considers these bridges important in getting supplies to the Russian army.

According to the US research institute Institute for the Study of War, Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk has put pressure on Russian forces. Russian President Vladimir Putin will try to save this area. But for this he will need more manpower and equipment from elsewhere.

Russia’s ally North Korea has alleged that US anti-Russian policies have pushed the global security environment to the brink of World War III. This was reported in North Korea’s state media yesterday. North Korea has condemned Ukraine’s attack inside Russia.
