According to official reports, on Friday, Russian drones launched a targeted assault on a shopping centre in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, culminating in a calamitous toll of fourteen precious lives lost and numerous casualties.

当局の発表によると金曜日ロシアの無人機ウクライナ中部のクリヴィー・リフ市のショッピングセンター標的に攻撃を仕掛けその結果14名の尊い命が失われ多数の負傷者を出す惨事となった

This city is the birthplace of President Volodymyr Zelensky, who characterized the assault as a 'two-stage attack,' asserting that after the initial swarm of drones struck the area, a second wave descended while rescue teams were still engaged in their response.

この都市はウォロディミル・ゼレンスキー大統領の出身地であり同大統領はこの攻撃を「二段階攻撃」と称し、最初のドローン群が地域を襲撃した後救助隊が対応に当たる中で第二波が襲来したと述べた

On social media, President Zelensky categorically asserted that such an assault constitutes nothing short of an act of terrorism.

ゼレンスキー氏はソーシャルメディア上で「このような攻撃はテロ行為にほかならない」と断じた

A mere few hours later, in a video address, he unequivocally declared that Ukraine would exact retaliatory measures in response to the attack on the shopping mall.

その数時間後同氏はビデオ演説においてショッピングモールへの攻撃に対しウクライナが報復の措置を講ずる旨を明言した

Oleksandr Vilkul, the paramount authority in the local administration, unequivocally affirmed the death toll at fourteen, while further elucidating that the number of wounded had ascended to one hundred and twenty-one, of whom twenty-two were minors.

地元行政の最高責任者たるオレクサンドル・ヴィルクル氏は死者数を14名と断定し負傷者については121名に達しそのうち22名が未成年であると補足した

Moreover, he explicitly articulated his conviction that rescue operations remained in a state of unabated continuation.

さらに救助活動はなおも継続中であるとの見解を明示した

Kryvyi Rih, repeatedly subjected to attacks over more than four years of hostilities, suffered its most devastating toll in April 2025, when 20 lives were lost, including nine children.

クリヴィー・リフは、四年余に及ぶ戦禍の中で幾度となく攻撃の標的とされてきたが、その被害が最も甚大であったのは2025年4月のことであり、児童9名を含む20名が命を落とした。

The Friday assault transpired a mere twenty-four hours subsequent to Russia's nocturnal bombardment of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, employing a formidable arsenal of missiles and drones, which tragically claimed the lives of at least sixteen individuals.

The Friday assault transpired a mere twenty-four hours subsequent to Russia's nocturnal bombardment of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, employing a formidable arsenal of missiles and drones, which tragically claimed the lives of at least sixteen individuals.

Over the course of recent months, Moscow's forces have been progressively intensifying their ballistic missile assaults upon Kyiv.

ここ数ヶ月にわたりモスクワ軍はキーウに対する弾道ミサイル攻撃を段階的に激化させている。

The Ukrainian side is confronted with the grave constraint of a chronic shortage of interceptor missiles for the American-made Patriot air defense system, which constitutes the sole weaponry capable of downing ballistic missiles of that ilk.

ウクライナ側は米国製パトリオット防空システム用の迎撃ミサイルが慢性的に欠乏しておりこれこそが同型弾道ミサイルを撃墜し得る唯一の兵器であるという深刻な制約に直面している

The large-scale assaults by Russia have assumed a quotidian character this summer.

ロシアによる大規模な攻撃は、この夏日常的な様相を呈している

A mere fortnight ago, a Russian strike on Kyiv and its environs claimed seventeen lives, and two days prior, nine perished within the city proper.

ちょうど2週間前ロシアによるキーウおよびその周辺地域への攻撃により17名が命を落としその2日前には市内で9名が死亡した

The United Nations reported last week that Kyiv ranked among the cities most heavily bombarded in July, with at least fifty-four civilians killed and two hundred and two wounded.

国連先週キーウは7月に最も激しい攻撃を受けた都市の一つであり、少なくとも民間人54名が死亡し202名が負傷したと発表した

In the early hours of Friday, a devastating strike employing unmanned aerial vehicles by Russian forces claimed the lives of two women, aged 73 and 66, in the eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv, while leaving two additional individuals wounded, as officially confirmed by regional governor Oleh Syniehubov.

金曜早朝ロシア軍による無人航空機を用いた攻撃によりウクライナ東部ハルキウ州において73歳と66歳の女性2名が命を落としさらに2名が負傷する惨事が発生したと、州知事オレフ・シネフボフ氏が公式に発表した

According to a statement released via Telegram by the Ukrainian Air Force, Ukraine succeeded in downing or neutralising 107 of the 135 unmanned aerial vehicles launched by Russia during the night.

ウクライナ空軍のテレグラム声明によればウクライナはロシアが夜間に発射した135機の無人航空機のうち107機を撃墜または無力化することに成功した

On Friday, in the vicinity of the village of Razumnoye in Russia's Belgorod Oblast, a Ukrainian drone strike was executed, targeting a vehicle and culminating in a calamitous toll of one fatality and four wounded.

金曜日ロシア連邦ベルゴロド州ラズムノエ村近郊において、ウクライナ軍による無人航空機を用いた攻撃が実行され車両が標的となり1名が死亡4名が負傷する惨事が発生した

According to a statement from local authorities, two of the injured are in critical condition, reportedly teetering on the precipice of death.

現地当局の発表によれば負傷者のうち2名は重篤な状態にあり生命の危機に瀕しているとされる

Earlier, President Zelensky stated that a further Ukrainian drone assault had targeted an oil refinery in Perm, situated more than 1,600 kilometres from the border.

先にゼレンスキー氏はウクライナによる更なるドローン攻撃が国境から1,600キロ以上離れたペルミの製油所標的とした述べた

Moreover, he explicitly affirmed that the Marinovka military airfield, located in Russia's Volgograd Oblast, had likewise been subjected to attack.

さらにロシアのヴォルゴグラード州に所在するマリノフカ軍用飛行場攻撃の対象となった明言した

The Russian online news outlet Astra reported that Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles ignited a refinery operated by Lukoil in Perm.

ロシアのオンラインニュース「アストラ」ウクライナの無人航空機ペルミに所在するルクオイル運営の製油所に引火させたと報じた。

Local authorities stated that damage had been confirmed at an unidentified "industrial facility."

現地当局正体不明の「産業施設」において損害が確認されたと述べた。

The Russian Ministry of Defence announced that it had intercepted 325 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles overnight across 15 regions of Russian territory and over the skies of Crimea.

ロシア国防省は一夜のうちにロシア領内の15地域およびクリミア上空でウクライナの無人航空機325機を迎撃した発表した

Crimea is a territory that was unlawfully annexed by Moscow in 2014.

クリミアは2014年にモスクワによって不法に併合された領土である

Up until late Friday night, the ministry officially announced that it had downed an additional 211 unmanned aerial vehicles.

金曜日の深夜に至るまで同省はさらに211機の無人航空機を撃墜したと公式に発表した

Analysts contend that, with troop deployments along the approximately 1,250-kilometre front stretching across eastern and southern Ukraine severely constrained by a plethora of unmanned aerial vehicles and ground robots imperilling infantry and armour, decisive battlefield breakthroughs have become unattainable, thereby precipitating an inexorable escalation of long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine.

アナリストらはウクライナ東部および南部に亘る約1,250キロメートルの前線における部隊展開は歩兵や車両を脅かす夥しい数の無人航空機地上ロボットによって厳格に制約されているため、戦場における決定的な進展が不可能な状況下でロシアとウクライナの長距離攻撃激化の一途を辿っている指摘する

Over the course of the past twelve months, Ukraine has been vigorously advancing the development and operational deployment of domestically produced long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, expressly designed to strike deep within Russian territory, a trajectory that has garnered considerable attention among governmental bodies and defense industry stakeholders across the globe.

この12ヶ月間にわたりウクライナはロシア領土深部への攻撃を目的とした国産長距離無人航空機の開発と実戦配備推し進めておりその動向は世界各国の政府機関や防衛産業関係者の間で多大な関心を集めている

Kyiv's authorities are scheming to drag Russia's President Putin to the negotiating table by making the Russian populace acutely aware of the war's grim denouement.

キーウの当局者はロシア国民に戦争の結末を痛感させることによりロシアのプーチン大統領を和平交渉の場へと引きずり出すことを目論んでいる

To this day, Putin has evinced not the slightest inclination to halt the invasion.

プーチン氏は今に至るまで侵攻を中止する意志を一切示してはいない
