(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, MAR 29 - Kyiv said Friday that Russian
forces had fired 99 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight in
a barrage that damaged at three power stations. Russia has
stepped up its aerial assaults on Ukraine in recent weeks,
targeting energy infrastructure in particular in response to an
uptick on fatal Ukrainian assaults on Russian border regions.
The Ukrainian interior ministry said the Russian assault had
targeted 10 regions of the country, damaging power stations and
private homes, and wounding several people. "Eighty four air
targets were destroyed: 58 shaheds and 26 missiles," the air
force said in a statement, referring to Iranian-designed attack
drones routinely deployed by Russian forces. (ANSA-AFP).
