Russia rained missiles on cities across Ukraine on Tuesday after its humiliating withdrawal from Kherson, even as signs grew that its retreating forces were pulling even further back from the Dnipro River in the south. Air raid sirens blared and explosions rang out in nearly a dozen major cities, in what Ukraine said was the heaviest wave of missile strikes in nearly nine months of war, echoing a pattern in recent weeks of Moscow lashing out far from the front after battlefield losses.
A Ukrainian air force spokesman said Russia had launched around 100 missiles into Ukraine by early evening, more than on October 10, previously described as the largest number since the opening salvoes of the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the main target of the missile flurry was energy infrastructure, as before. “It’s clear what the enemy wants. He will not achieve this,” he said in a video address on the Telegram messaging app.
