Officials say Russian drone attack kills 13,000 boys in Ukraine

A Russian Done -aircraft strike on a farm in the northeast Ukraine Emergency service officials said over the eve of Friday, which set a fire that killed about 13,000 boys.

The government emergency service in Ukraine said that the attack of Russian drones hit an “agricultural institution in the Novovodolsa community” in the Kharkiv region. A worker was injured on the farm.

The photos released by the service showed the bodies of pigs stacked in narrow pens, partially burned, some with their surfaces were shattered.

The emergency service added that the pigs were held in eight kiosks that span more than 140,000 square feet, all of which are burned in the fire.

The animals have suffered with people throughout the war of three and a half years. The previous Russian strikes struck stables and zoos.

In September, seven horses were killed in the Kiev region during a large -scale Russian attack that hit the equestrian club. Animal gardens across Ukraine were damaged during the war, with one attack killed a ram in the Odysse Zoo in June.

The strike appears to be part of a major attack by Russia against natural gas facilities run by the state -owned Navogaz Group in Ukraine.

The Ukraine Air Force said that Russia fired a total of 381 drones and 25 missiles in gas extraction and processing facilities in the areas of Kharkif and Polytava, some of which are critical damage.

“This is deliberate terrorism against civilian facilities that provide gas and treatment for the normal life of people,” said Sirhi Koreski, CEO of the Gas Company in Ukraine. “It has no military purpose. This is another act of Russian slag that only aims to disrupt the heating season and deprive the Ukrainians of warmth in the winter.”

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that its forces launched a mass blow using drones and weapons directed against the Ukraine Industrial Complex, the gas and energy infrastructure that supports it. “All the specific goals were hit,” he said in a statement.
