Russia is carrying out \u201cintense attacks\u201d deep behind the frontlines in a brutal retaliation to Ukraine\u2019s recent counteroffensive successes and long range strikes in occupied Crimea, the British MoD has claimed.<\/p>\n
In its latest update on X, formerly Twitter, the MoD described the intensity as \u201cunusual\u201d.<\/p>\n
Intense missile campaigns are not rare – in May this year, the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv was targeted 17 times, including once in the middle of the day – but the MoD suggested this last week of attacks may be the start of another brutal operation.<\/p>\n
After Ukraine-wide strikes yesterday (September 21), the country\u2019s electricity grid operator suggested it could mark the start of a Russian winter missile campaign, one that they carried out aggressively last year.<\/p>\n
The early-morning wave of missile strikes on what\u2019s known as the International Day of Peace was the largest in more than a month and came during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s multi-day trip to the US.<\/p>\n
