(AFP-Yonhap)  <\/p>\n<p>KYIV, Ukraine (AFP) &#8212; Russian strikes killed two people and wounded dozens across Ukraine overnight Saturday and Sunday, while a Ukrainian drone attack killed three people in Russia&#8217;s Belgorod region.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization denounced a strike that destroyed a warehouse in Ukraine holding medical supplies.<\/p>\n<p>More than four years after the start of Russia&#8217;s large-scale offensive against Ukraine, both countries are ramping up long-range strikes. The resulting civilian casualties led the United Nations to condemn both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is relying on &#8220;ballistic terror,&#8221; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday on social media, stating that 61 missiles of various types had been fired at Ukraine over the past week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More pressure, more sanctions against Russia and more air defense for Ukraine are needed,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The two people killed by a Russian drone strike were in the major northeastern city of Kharkiv, where four floors of a residential building were also destroyed, said Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-three people were also wounded, according to regional governor Oleg Synegoubov, sharing images of a gutted building with emergency services working at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy said eight people had also been wounded overnight in Odesa, where strikes damaged the power grid, the port, and residential buildings.<\/p>\n<p>He condemned another &#8220;absolutely brutal&#8221; strike targeting energy infrastructure near a shopping centre in Pavlohrad, in the Dnipropetrovsk region that wounded nine people, including four children.<\/p>\n<p>World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a WHO warehouse stocking medical supplies in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro had been destroyed in strikes on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I cannot say loudly enough: attacks on health care MUST STOP. Otherwise, people are deprived of lifesaving healthcare,&#8221; Tedros in a post on X Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even wars have rules. One of those is that health must be protected!&#8221; In Russia, a Ukrainian drone attack on the border city of Belgorod killed three people, according to the region&#8217;s acting governor, Alexander Shuvaev. Twenty-five people, including children aged four and nine, were also wounded, he added. <\/p>\n<p>Fires broke out in cars, two apartment buildings, and a house, said Shuvaev. A video released by Russian media shows an apartment building engulfed in flames at night, watched by residents gathered across the street.<\/p>\n<p>On the front line, the Russian army said Sunday they had captured two small villages in Ukraine&#8217;s eastern Donetsk region. The claim has not yet been independently verified.<\/p>\n<p>One of them, Vasiutynske, is about 10 kilometers from the city of Kramatorsk, a Ukrainian urban and logistical hub.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy, in his evening address Sunday, defended Ukraine&#8217;s responses to Russia&#8217;s attacks &#8212; including strikes on oil refineries, air-defense systems and radar stations &#8212; as &#8220;truly just responses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Russian war will be increasingly felt at home, in Russia,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned both sides for their repeated attacks on civilian areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure are a clear violation of international humanitarian law, and must stop immediately,&#8221; he said. The Russian invasion, which began four and a half years ago, continues with prospects of a peace agreement largely stalled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman looks at burnt and broken ceramic items at a damaged street market following Russian strikes in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[58690,936,195,7302,130,53138],"class_list":["post-114075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea","tag-belgorod","tag-drone","tag-k-pop","tag-strikes","tag-ukraine","tag-zelenskyy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
