00:00 On Wednesday morning, a Russian military transport plane transporting 65 Ukrainian prisoners

00:20 of war along with six crew members and three additional individuals crashed in Russia's

00:26 Belgorod region near Ukraine, as reported by Russia's Defense Ministry.

00:30 The incident took place around 11 a.m. and the cause of the crash remains unclear.

00:34 The fate of those on board, including any potential survivors, is yet to be determined.

00:40 Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances leading to the crash, with a

00:44 special military commission en route to the crash site, according to the Defense Ministry.

00:48 Earlier on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that a significant

00:53 Russian missile attack, seemingly orchestrated to overwhelm Ukraine's air defenses, resulted

00:58 in the tragic loss of 18 lives and left 130 individuals injured.

01:04 This devastating event unfolded on the 700th day since the initiation of the full-scale

01:08 invasion by Kremlin forces.

01:10 The onslaught, involving over 40 ballistic, cruise, anti-aircraft and guided missiles,

01:15 targeted 130 residential structures across three Ukrainian cities, all of which were

01:20 described by Zelensky as "ordinary houses."

01:24 The attack, which reached as far as the capital Kiev and the second-largest city Kharkiv,

01:29 marked one of the most intense assaults in recent weeks.

01:32 Zelensky's urgent calls for increased military aid from Western allies gained further resonance

01:37 in the aftermath of this heavy bombardment.

01:39 The Institute of the Study of War, based in Washington, speculated that Moscow might be

01:43 seeking to procure additional ballistic missiles from foreign sources, including Iran and North

01:48 Korea, as they could potentially be more effective in certain situations.

01:51 Late on Tuesday, a new wave of Russian S-300 missiles targeted residential areas in Kharkiv,

01:57 resulting in nine injuries and causing damage to residential buildings, as reported by regional

02:01 governor Oleg Sinyubov.

02:04 Despite Russia's denial of targeting civilian areas, ample evidence contradicts these claims.

02:10 The Russian Defense Ministry asserted that Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the

02:14 Oryol region in western Russia, with air defenses successfully downing four of them early on

02:19 Wednesday.

02:20 Oryol mayor Yuri Parakin confirmed the downing of several drones over the city, noting that

02:24 although there were no casualties, several apartment building windows were shattered.

02:28 Additionally, another Ukrainian drone was reportedly brought down in the Belgorod border

02:32 region early on Wednesday, according to regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

02:36 Fortunately, there were no reported casualties or damage in the incident.

02:40 The ongoing use of drones in the conflict adds another layer of complexity to the already

02:44 tense situation, highlighting the need for continued scrutiny of military activities

02:48 in the region.
