Russia keeps up missile attacks on Ukraine ahead of expected Kyiv

Russia kept up its missile attacks on Ukraine on Sunday ahead of a widely anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive, targeting an industrial site in the southern Mykolaiv region, authorities said.
Mykolaiv governor Vitaliy Kim said in a social media post that a building and territory belonging to an unspecified enterprise were damaged overnight after Russian long-range bombers targeted his region with five Kh-22 cruise missiles.
Ukrainian air force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat told local television on Sunday morning that a total of six of those missiles had been fired at Ukraine overnight but that none had hit their targets.
Governor Oleh Synyehubov said, in the eastern Kharkiv region, at least five people were injured after an S-300 missile struck a car park in the city of Balakliya.
Russian forces have stepped up their long-range missile strikes on civilian and infrastructure targets in recent days.
