Russia also carried out an intense barrage against Ukraine over the weekend, killing two people at a steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, which is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The plant, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, posted about the incident on Telegram, sharing that 13 employees were injured.
“As a result of the attack, the main production facilities of energy and blast furnace production were damaged and the production processes of the plant were partially stopped,” the company wrote.
Russian attacks also sparked fires throughout Kyiv, wounding six people. In total, at least seven people were killed and 51 injured in Russian strikes over the weekend, according to casualty figures reported by regional Ukrainian authorities.
“Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure,” Zelenskyy said on X in the aftermath of the attacks.
A NATO jet on an air policing mission also shot down an unidentified drone in Romanian airspace on Saturday—the fourth unmanned aircraft shot down over the country this year, Romania’s defense ministry said Sunday.
