Cross-Border Strikes Shake Ukraine and Russia | Wilmington News

Cross-border strikes have left civilians dead and injured across Ukraine and Russia, with drone attacks in Belgorod killing five—including a child—and Russian missiles hitting Kharkiv, killing two. Odesa also suffered heavy damage. Ukraine’s desperate shortage of Patriot air defense systems leaves it vulnerable, as President Zelenskyy pushes allies for more. Meanwhile, Russia claims it struck Ukrainian drone depots while downing dozens of drones, while Ukraine retaliates with long-range strikes on Russian energy targets.
