Ukraine-Russia Strikes Escalate | Belfast News

Ukraine reels from a brutal weekend of Russian drone and missile strikes that killed at least seven, including devastating hits on Kyiv’s railways and Zaporizhzhia — while Ukraine retaliated with long-range drone attacks into Russia’s Krasnodar region, claiming three lives, including two children. The violence escalated after a horrific Russian bombing of a Kryvyi Rih shopping center killed 16 and wounded over 100, prompting Zelensky to call it a “double-tap” tactic. With Ukraine’s Patriot defenses stretched thin, Kyiv remains vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated missile assaults. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones now strike deep inside Russia — hitting oil refineries and logistics hubs far from the front lines — as Putin dismisses the toll as economic damage, not a strategic shift. The war continues to spiral, leaving civilians caught in the crossfire on both sides.
