At Least 16 People Dead After Russian Missiles Hit Ukraine

In this image taken from video provided by the National Police of Ukraine, firefighters work at an apartment building destroyed by a Russian attack in the town of Uman, around 215 kilometers (134 miles) south of Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, April 28, 2023.

Russia fired more than 20 cruise missiles and two drones at Ukraine early Friday, April 28, 2023, killing at least 16 people. Officials disclosed that most of them died when two missiles slammed into an apartment building in the center of the country. Three children were among the dead.

The missile attacks included the first one against Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, in nearly two months, although there were no reports of any targets hit. The city government disclosed that Ukraine’s air force intercepted 11 cruise missiles and two unmanned aerial vehicles over Kyiv.

The strikes on the nine-story residential building in central Ukraine occurred in Uman, a city located around 215 kilometers (134 miles) south of Kyiv. According to the interior ministry, fourteen people died in that attack, including two 10-year-old children and a toddler.

Firefighters work to extinguish a fire after a Russian attack at a residential building in Uman, central Ukraine, Friday, April 28, 2023.

Another of the victims was a 75-year-old woman who lived in a neighboring building and suffered internal bleeding from the huge blast’s shock wave, according to emergency personnel at the scene.

Survivors of the Uman strikes recounted terrifying moments as the missiles hit when it still was dark outside.

The Ukrainian national police said 17 people were wounded and three children were rescued from the rubble. Nine were hospitalized.

The bombardment was nowhere near the war’s sprawling front lines or active combat zones in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials and analysts have alleged the strikes are part of a deliberate intimidation strategy by the Kremlin. Russia has denied its military aims at civilian targets.

A 31-year-old woman and her 2-year-old daughter were also killed in the eastern city of Dnipro in another attack, regional Governor Serhii Lysak said. Four people were also wounded, and a private home and business were damaged.

Kremlin Is Not Interested In A Peace Deal

Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba opined in a Twitter post that Friday’s bombardment showed the Kremlin is not interested in a peace deal.

“Missile strikes killing innocent Ukrainians in their sleep, including a 2-year-old child, is Russia’s response to all peace initiatives. The way to peace is to kick Russia out of Ukraine.”

In Kyiv, fragments from intercepted missiles or drones damaged power lines and a road in one neighborhood. No casualties were reported.

The attacks came days after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held a “long and meaningful” phone call where Xi said his government will send a peace envoy to Ukraine and other nations.

Last week, Ukraine officials announced that they had taken delivery of American-made Patriot missiles, providing Kyiv with a long-sought new shield against Russian airstrikes, but there was no word on whether the system was used on Friday.

The city’s anti-aircraft system was activated, according to the Kyiv City Administration. Air raid sirens started at about 4 a.m., and the alert ended about two hours later.  Air defenses have thwarted Russian drone attacks more recently.

The missiles were fired from aircraft operating in the Caspian Sea region, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander in Chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi disclosed.

Overall, Zaluzhnyi said, Ukraine intercepted 21 of 23 Kh-101 and Kh-555 type cruise missiles launched, as well as the two drones.
