Moscow has intensified strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure in response to attacks on Russian-controlled territory, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu says.

“Against the background of the failure of the so-called ‘counteroffensive,’ Kyiv… has focused on carrying out terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure,” Shoigu says. “The intensity of our strikes against Ukrainian military facilities… has been considerably increased.”
