#Repost @weareukraine.info with @use.repost . . . In the early hours of March 29, 2024, Russia initiated another extensive assault on Ukrainian cities, targeting nearly every Ukrainian region with a total of 99 air assault assets.

Ukraine’s air defense downed 58 of the 60 launched Shahed-type drones, 17 of 21 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles, five of nine Kh-59 guided missiles, and all four of the Russian-launched Iskander cruise missiles. Russia also utilised three Kh-47M2 Kinzhal ballistic missiles and two Iskander ballistic missiles in its attack.

DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, confirmed that three of its power plants were struck and seriously damaged, with one worker sustaining injuries.

Multiple explosions were reported in Dnipro, the capital of Dnipropetrovsk region. In Kamianske, also in Dnipropetrovsk region, critical infrastructure was damaged, leading to one man being hospitalized, according to Governor Serhii Lysak. The attacks resulted in damage to several energy facilities in Dnipropetrovsk region, with a housing cooperative destroyed in Kamianske, injuring five individuals, including a 5-year-old girl.

Explosions were also reported in the western cities of Ivano-Frankivsk and Khemelnytskyi. Poland announced that it deployed military jets to safeguard its airspace during the attack. Previously, a Russian cruise missile entered Polish airspace for 39 seconds during Russia’s March 24 mass attack on Ukraine.

Russia has increasingly intensified its mass attacks against Ukraine, particularly targeting its energy infrastructure. The March 22 attack damaged Ukraine’s largest hydroelectric power plant, the Dnipro HPP.

It’s been said repeatedly before and now it’s being said once again: Republicans in the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress must no longer refrain from approving additional military aid for Ukraine. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Russia launched a fresh wave of missile and drone attacks against Ukraine between March 21-25, hitting the country’s critical infrastructure heavier than ever before.

Experts agree that Moscow’s goal is to knock out the country’s power grid. While it has failed to achieve this aim so far, the situation grows ever more precarious with dwindling air defense ammunition.

White House Reveals Evidence of Russia Using North Korean Missiles in Ukraine Conflict; Warns of Potential Iran Deal

The White House Unveils Evidence of Russia Deploying North Korean Missiles in Ukraine Conflict; Warns of Potential Iran Deal In a significant revelation, the White House, through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, disclosed compelling evidence indicating Russia's utilization of North Korean ballistic missiles in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This revelation, made on Thursday, was accompanied by grave warnings regarding Russia's potential acquisition of missile systems from Iran, exacerbating tensions in the already volatile region. Kirby expressed concerns, stating that Russia, facing increased global isolation due to stringent U.S. sanctions and export restrictions, had sought military resources from "like-minded states." "Our information indicates that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently supplied Russia with ballistic missile launchers and multiple ballistic missiles," remarked Kirby during the briefing. Detailing the attacks, Kirby confirmed that Russian forces had launched North Korean missiles into Ukraine on both December 30 and January 2, targeting the nation's territories. He underscored the missiles' operational range, estimated to be around 550 miles, and labeled these developments as a "significant and concerning escalation" in North Korea's support for Russia. Kirby further revealed North Korea's quest to procure military aid from Russia, encompassing sophisticated weaponry and advanced technologies, highlighting potential security implications for the Korean Peninsula and the wider Indo-Pacific region. Notably, he cautioned about ongoing negotiations between Russia and Iran for the procurement of close-range ballistic missiles, signaling heightened tensions. In response to these developments, the U.S. administration plans to take decisive actions in collaboration with its allies. These actions include raising concerns at the U.N. Security Council, imposing additional sanctions against facilitators of arms transfers between Russia, North Korea, and Iran, and ensuring transparency by publicly exposing these dealings. Kirby emphasized the urgency for Congress to approve supplemental funding swiftly to provide essential military assistance to Ukraine in countering Russia's aggressive actions. This news update underscores escalating concerns over Russia's use of foreign weaponry in the conflict and the potential ramifications of arms deals with Iran and North Korea, prompting urgent international responses to safeguard regional stability.

Russia attacked Sloviansk in the Donetsk region with two S-300 missiles: 2 people were killed, and 29 were injured.

Administrative and office buildings, 5 multi-storey buildings and 7 private houses were destroyed in Sloviansk.

At this time, the Russian invaders also launched two S-300 missiles at Druzhkivka in the Donetsk region and destroyed the orphanage. All rescue services and medical services are working on the spots.

Ukrainians won't forget the destruction and damage the Russian invaders bring to our land. We document Russian war crimes, we collect evidence, we make sure these actions are remembered. All the Russian terrorists responsible for these acts will be held accountable.

Houthi rebels end drone, missile attacks on Saudi Arabia

Yemen’s Iran-linked Houthi rebels said late Friday that they were halting drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia. The Houthi rebels have claimed recent attacks on major Saudi oil facilities. “We hope Riyadh will respond in a positive way to this initiative. “And if Saudi Arabia does not respond to the initiative and resumes bombing, we will have the right to respond to it,” said Mahdi al-Mashat. Al-Mashat is head of the so-called Supreme Houthi Political Council in a recorded speech broadcast by the movement’s Al-Masirah television. He called on the international community to stop what he described as “its abusive practices” and its underestimation of the suffering of the Yemeni people. Al-Mashat called for immediately lifting the ban on Sana’a airport and to cease intercepting ships heading to Hodeida port. The Houthi official stressed that “the continuation of the war will not be in anyone’s interest and may lead to serious developments.” Earlier Friday, a Saudi-led military alliance fighting the Houthis in Yemen said that it had mounted airstrikes against the rebels. A spokesman for the coalition, Turki al-Maliki, said the alliance had carried out an operation against “hostile” Houthi targets north of the coastal province of Hodeida in western Yemen, according to the Saudi news agency SPA. Al-Maliki accused the rebels of using Hodeida for launching ballistic missiles, drones and remote-controlled explosive boats and deploying naval mines. He added that the alliance had a “legitimate right to take and implement the appropriate deterrence measures with these legal military targets.” Rebel spokesman Mohammed Abdel-Salam called the strikes a “dangerous escalation” that undermine a UN-brokered ceasefire agreement reached in Sweden last December. “The alliance has to bear consequences of this escalation,” Abdel-Salam added in a press statement. Tensions have run high since the weekend after the attacks on Saudi oil facilities. Saudi Arabia and the United States have blamed the attacks on Iran. Tehran denies involvement. In Beirut, the chief of Lebanon’s pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, advised Saudi Arabia to stop its years-long military campaign in Yemen. “It proves to us that oil is more expensive than blood,” Nasrallah said, referring to the attack on the Saudi oil sites. He added that no one was killed in the attack, while thousands have been killed in Yemen’s war. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have led the campaign in Yemen against the Houthis since March 2015. “Stop betting on the Americans and their failed administration,” Nasrallah said, addressing Saudi Arabia. “It will be less costly for the Saudis and the Emirates to protect their installations by stopping the war on the Yemeni people,” he added at a ceremony in southern Beirut. In recent months, the Houthis have launched a string of drone and missile attacks into Saudi territory, which the rebels say are to defend themselves against the coalition’s strikes. The power struggle between the Saudi-backed government and the Houthis has left Yemen, already one of the Arab world’s poorest countries, with a famine and massive damage to infrastructure.
