Ukraine suffered a massed Russian missile attack in the early hours of January 13, with Moscow firing Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Air defences shot down Russian missiles in at least five regions across Ukraine, according to local officials from those provinces. Russian forces claimed to have struck 107 Ukrainian artillery units as well enemy manpower and equipment in 131 areas. A massive fire reportedly broke out at a depot in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg on January 13. US President Biden said the Republicans would have “an awful lot to pay for” if they did not help pass military aid for Ukraine.
