Russia launches hundreds of glide bombs at Ukraine as Zelensky calls for stronger air defense

independent.co.uk November 25, 2024, 05:01 AM UTC

Russia has launched hundreds of glide bombs at Ukraine in the past week, with President Volodymyr Zelensky reporting 800 KAB bombs used. These bombs are large and highly destructive, reminiscent of World War II weaponry. Zelensky has called for improved air defenses to protect against these ongoing aerial attacks. He emphasized that Ukraine is not a testing ground for weapons and highlighted the need for better protection for its citizens. In a recent escalation, Russia fired an "Oreshnik" ballistic missile at Dnipro, claiming it has no current countermeasures. President Putin stated that Russia will continue to test this missile system.
