Volodymyr Zelenskyy reports a North Korean missile strike killed six members of the Voronov family in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that a North Korean ballistic missile used by Russia struck a family home in Radushne, killing at least six members of the Voronov family. The strike, which occurred during a massive Russian aerial assault involving over 70 missiles and 280 drones, leveled the house and left four other family members missing. Zelenskyy condemned the Russian strike as a "horrific crime" and emphasized the need for Western partners to provide more Patriot interceptor missiles to counter the growing use of high-speed ballistic weapons. While the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the attacks targeted military sites, the strike on the Voronov family home demonstrated the impact of Russia's expanding arsenal. The missile, which Zelenskyy noted was used by Russia for the first time in a while, highlights the strengthening partnership between Russia and Moscow and North Korea. Zelenskyy urged the West to provide air defense systems to protect civilians from the terror of the Russian war.
