Russian Strikes Kill 19 Across Ukraine

HeadlineOct 11, 2022

In Ukraine, at least 19 people were killed and dozens more left injured Monday as Russia’s military continued to rain bombs and missiles down on cities. The Kremlin said the long-range airstrikes were aimed at Ukraine’s energy and military infrastructure in retribution for a weekend explosion that damaged a key bridge linking Russia to Crimea, the Ukrainian territory annexed by Moscow in 2014. Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Ukraine for the blast, calling it an “act of terrorism.” This morning, Ukraine’s military claimed to have shot down several Russian cruise missiles.
