A Russian missile damaged critical infrastructure and injured six people in central Ukraine’s Cherkasy region on Thursday, the region’s governor said. According to preliminary information, an Iskander-K missile was used in the attack, Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Ilya Jevlas added. The news was brought by the Reuters agency.
The pressure wave and debris also damaged 47 private homes and broke windows in a high-rise residential building, Cherkasy Governor Ihor Taburec said via the Telegram application.
Ukrainian air defense shot down the aerial target, he said, adding that emergency services were working on the scene. Russian forces have previously damaged railway infrastructure in a strike in the Dnieper region on April 19, Ukrainian state railways Ukrzaliznytsia reported on Telegram.
