Ukrainian counteroffensive: How well prepared is the Russian defense? | DW News

An overnight missile attack by Russian forces has killed at least three people and wounded at least 25 others in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, a regional governor said on Tuesday.
Serhiy Lysak, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said a five-story residential building was hit in the early morning in what he previously described as a "massive missile attack."
He said in a Telegram post that rescue operations were ongoing, with people likely still caught under rubble.
Three cruise missiles were shot down, but others got through, he said.
Air attacks were also reported in the capital, Kyiv.
The wave of air attacks comes as Ukraine claims to have made advances in its counteroffensive against invading Russian forces.
"The fighting is tough, but we are moving forward, this is very important," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday in his daily evening address.
