Russia has stockpiled 800 missiles in Crimea in preparation for its second winter campaign. It is feared the missiles are intended for strikes on critical Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. AdvertisementUkraine is bracing itself for an aerial onslaught this winter, with reports suggesting Russia has stockpiled 800 missiles in Crimea to strike at Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Last winter, Russia adopted the same tactic it appears to be preparing for this year — targeting Ukrainian power and water infrastructure with missiles. As the war in Ukraine heads into its second winter, territorial movement could be limited in the months ahead.

Ukraine said on Wednesday that a Russian missile had struck a civilian ship while it was moored in a port in the Black Sea region of Odesa, killing a port pilot on board and injuring three crew members and a port worker. The Ukrainian southern military command said in a statement that an anti-radar Russian missile hit the ship’s superstructure, which includes the command cabin. It said that the ship was traveling under the Liberian flag and that the three wounded crew members were citizens of the Philippines. The Russian authorities did not immediately comment on the strike. If confirmed, the attack would be the first time that Russian forces have hit a civilian vessel sailing near the Odesa region since Moscow pulled out of a U.N.-brokered deal in July that allowed Ukraine to export its grain through the Black Sea.

May 4 (Reuters) - Ukrainian air defences said they downed 18 out of 24 kamikaze drones that Russia launched in a pre-dawn attack on Thursday. In a statement, Kyiv city administration said that all missiles and drones targeting the Ukrainian capital for the third time in four days, have been destroyed. "The Russians have attacked Kyiv using Shahed loitering munitions and missiles, likely the ballistic type," the administration said. Out of 15 Shahed kamikaze drones fired at the Black Sea coastal city of Odesa, air defences destroyed 12, while three struck a university compound. The latest blasts were reported less than 24 hours after Kyiv said 21 people died in a Russian strike on the city of Kherson.
