Conflict in Eastern Europe: Ukraine and Russia Strikes Hit Homes and Oil Depot near Black Sea

Explosions Rock Ukrainian Cities, Fuel Depot near Black Sea

Two days of intense attacks have shaken Ukrainian cities and killed at least three people as Russia struck the southern Ukrainian oil depot near the Black Sea. The attacks on Monday damaged homes and ripped away power lines, leaving locals without electricity. The situation is exacerbating the dire energy crisis that has plagued the country since Russia invaded nearly four months ago. An oil depot near the Black Sea also sustained damage, with raging fires visible for miles. Local officials described it as a "massive attack" and said the fires were so intense that they could be seen from space. This recent bombardment adds to the growing list of attacked Ukrainian cities, which includes the capital Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. The ongoing conflict has led to increasing humanitarian and economic crises, with children paying the heaviest price. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation evolves.
