Russian forces showered Ukraine with more missiles and munition-carrying drones Tuesday, the day after widespread strikes killed at least 19 people in an attack the UN human rights office described as “particularly shocking” and amounting to potential war crimes. Air raid warnings sounded throughout Ukraine for a second straight morning as officials advised residents to conserve energy and stock up on water. The strikes have knocked out power across the country and pierced the relative calm that had returned to Kyiv and many other cities far from the war’s front lines, the AP reports. « It brings anger, not fear, » Kyiv resident Volodymyr Vasylenko, 67, said as crews worked to restore traffic lights and clear debris from the capital’s streets. « We already got used to this. And we will keep fighting. »
Ukrainian officials said the strikes on power plants and civilian areas made no « practical military sense.
