Russia has vowed to retaliate for the destructive missile attack on Taganrog.
The Kremlin accused Kyiv of firing a missile at a Russian city near the Ukrainian border that wounded 15 people and threatened retaliation – as Moscow’s forces pounded a strategically important village that had just been recaptured by Ukraine.
Rostov regional Gov. Vasily Golubev said on Telegram that a café and a museum had been damaged in Taganrog, and that the windows of an apartment building had been blown out on impact.A second missile was intercepted by air defenses elsewhere in the region, but it fell in a deserted area without causing any harm, Golubev added.
Maria Zakharova, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said that Moscow “reserves the right to take tough retaliatory measures” in the wake of the missile attack in Taganrog, which she said was “directed against the civilian population and peaceful infrastructure.” The blast in Taganrog, located less than 25 miles away from the border with Ukraine, had blown the windows of an apartment building.Ukraine rarely comments on — or takes responsibility for — attacks inside Russia or on its occupied territories, which have included drone strikes targeting the Kremlin and missile strikes against ammunition depots and bridges used to supply Moscow’s soldiers.
Col.-Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s armed forces, said his troops were advancing in the Russia-occupied eastern Ukraine but meeting stiff resistance.Kyiv’s forces continued advancing toward the city of Melitopol on the Sea of Azov in the south. If Ukraine were to claw back Melitopol, it could bring it closer to breaking through the Russia-held land corridor linking the annexed Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia, splitting Moscow’s forces in two and cutting their supply lines.
