A Russian rocket nearly destroyed the Polish War Cemetery in Bykovnia, near Kyiv. Its fragments fell close to the main monument of the necropolis, causing a fire, explained Bohdan Netreba, head of the Bykovnian Graves complex, on Sunday at 19:00 Greenwich Time.
If the warhead had detonated in this location, nothing would have been left of the monument. Thank goodness it didn't explode, and only the grass in the forest caught fire, adds Netreba, noting that although he made this information public only today, the incident occurred on 27 August.
Ukraine continues attacks on Russia
On Sunday, Ukraine once again attacked Russia. According to sources such as the BBC, it was the "biggest attack since the start of the full-scale war". However, the Ukrainian army has not commented on these reports.
The drones targeted Russian power plants and refineries, mainly around Moscow and the capital. Currently, it is known that fires broke out in the Konakovskaya State District Power Plant (north of Moscow), Kashira State District Power Plant (south of Moscow), and Moscow's Kapotyanskaya Oil Refinery (administrative district).
Despite multiple appeals from authorities and services, Russians widely posted recordings and photos of the ongoing attack on Moscow online. The web was flooded with dozens of videos showing drones flying towards Russia's capital.
