The attack, which has not been independently verified, apparently hit the town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region with long-range rockets. The missiles also destroyed Russian munitions, including seven armored vehicles, Ukraine’s southern military command said. Ukraine said the strike marks its new counteroffensive to hit back at the Kremlin in the south with hundreds of thousands of troops. Russian officials said they were attacked by HIMARS missiles, which were recently supplied to Ukraine by the US and hailed by Kyiv as a “game changer” in its battle. “There are still many people under the rubble. The injured are being taken to the hospital, but many people are trapped in their apartments and homes,” a Russian news agency quoted a military official as saying. The Kremlin said so far at least seven people have been killed and about 60 injured.
