Ukrainian refugees in Cardiff say they are anxiously checking their loved ones are safe every day amid a flurry of Russian attacks in recent days. In the early hours of Monday the Kremlin launched its biggest drone attack on Ukraine for months, shelling its capital Kyiv, port city Odessa, and other cities, reports Reuters.
The drone swarm, comprising 60 Iranian-made kamikaze drones, came after Russia renewed its air campaign in late April following a lull in early March. Some 36 of these missiles targeted Kyiv alone and though all were shot down debris hit buildings and left at least five people injured. Three people were injured after a food warehouse in Odessa was struck and caught fire.
On Tuesday Russia launched another volley of cruise missiles at the capital overnight, reports Reuters. It was the fifth attack in May alone and came on Russia's Victory Day, which marks its defeat of Nazi Germany in World War Two. Ukraine's air defences shot down 23 of the 25 missiles and no casualties were reported.
