Shelling of Ukraine
The risk of further Russian missile strikes on Ukraine remains in the near future, particularly from the Caspian Flotilla of the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet.

Yuriy Ignat, Head of Communications for the Ukrainian Air Force, made this statement during an appearance on "News.LIVE".

According to him, during the latest attack, the enemy did not use sea-launched Kalibr or Iskander-K cruise missiles.

Instead, the Russians relied on strategic aviation and ballistic weapons such as the "Iskander-M".

Therefore, the danger of further launches remains, particularly from the Caspian Flotilla of the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet.

“The likelihood of further strikes remains. Of course, there is currently no precise information as to whether they plan to attack again, but we must prepare for any scenario, because the enemy is not stopping such attacks. And right now, drones are attacking from various directions,” Ignat said.

Massive attack on Ukraine on 14 May: what is known

On the night of 14 May, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine, using strike drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and aeroballistic missiles.

In total, Russian forces fired 56 missiles and 675 drones at Ukraine overnight.

The main target was Kyiv. A rescue operation is currently underway at the site of a Russian drone strike on a nine-storey residential block – the entrance to the building has been completely destroyed.

Three people have been killed. It is also known that more than 40 people have been injured. There may still be people trapped under the rubble, and more than 10 are considered missing.

There is also damage in the Kyiv region and a number of other regions of Ukraine.
