KYIV, Ukraine — Russia launched its second large salvo of missiles at Ukraine in recent days early Monday, damaging buildings, killing two people and wounding 40 in the eastern city of Pavlohrad but failing to hit Kyiv, officials said.
In that attack, Russian missiles hit an apartment building in Uman, a city about 135 miles south of Kyiv, killing 21 people, including three children. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Monday that Russia conducted "a group missile strike with long-range precision-guided airborne and seaborne weapons on facilities of Ukraine's defense industry ... all designated facilities were struck."
Anticipating the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russian forces are especially focused now on destroying logistical routes and centers of Ukraine's armed forces, southern regional military spokeswoman Natalia Humeniuk told Ukrainian TV.
