In Ukraine, the mayor of Kryvyi Rih says Russian missiles struck two civilian industrial sites overnight, injuring at least one person. The attack came days after another attack on the central Ukrainian city killed 11 civilians. Elsewhere, Ukraine’s military said it shot down 18 Russian drones over the Black Sea port city of Odesa overnight. And Russia’s TASS news agency reports Ukrainian artillery fire killed a child in a Russian-occupied part of Kherson region. On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with pro-war bloggers at the Kremlin, where he said, in a rare admission, that Russia’s military operations in Ukraine have been plagued by shortages of precision-guided munitions, communications gear, aircraft, drones and other equipment.
