According to official statements, on Friday, a Russian drone struck a shopping centre in the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of fourteen people and numerous injuries.

当局の発表によれば、金曜日、ロシアの無人機がウクライナ中部のクリヴィー・リフ市にあるショッピングセンターを攻撃し、その結果、14人が命を落とし、多数の負傷者が出た。

This city is the birthplace of President Volodymyr Zelensky, who described the attack as a "two-stage assault," stating that after the initial wave of drones struck the area, a second wave arrived while rescue teams were still responding.

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最中に第二波が到来したと述べた。

"Such attacks are nothing short of acts of terrorism," Zelensky wrote on social media.

このような攻撃はテロ行為にほかならないゼレンスキー氏はソーシャルメディアに書き込んだ

In a video address delivered a few hours later, he explicitly stated that Ukraine would take retaliatory measures in response to the shopping mall attack.

数時間後ビデオ演説で同氏はショッピングモール攻撃に対してウクライナが報復の措置を講じると明言した

Oleksandr Vilkul, the highest-ranking local official, specified the death toll at 14 and added that the number of injured had risen to 121, 22 of whom were children.

地元行政の最高責任者であるオレクサンドル・ヴィルクル氏は死者数を14人と特定し負傷者は121人に上りそのうち22人が子どもであると補足した

Furthermore, he stated that rescue operations were still underway.

さらに救助活動は依然として進行中であると述べた

Kryvyi Rih has repeatedly been the target of attacks throughout the conflict spanning over four years, with the most devastating toll occurring in April 2025, when 20 lives, including nine children, were lost.

クリヴィー・リフは4年以上に及ぶ紛争の中で幾度となく攻撃の標的となっており、その中でも最も壊滅的な被害を被ったのは2025年4月で、子供9人を含む20名の命が奪われた。

Friday's attack came just 24 hours after an incident in which Russia targeted Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, with a barrage of missiles and drones overnight, claiming the lives of at least 16 people.

金曜日の攻撃はロシアがウクライナの首都キーウを夜間に多数のミサイルと無人機で標的とし少なくとも16名の命が奪われた事件のわずか24時間後に発生した

Over the past few months, Moscow's forces have escalated both the frequency and intensity of ballistic missile strikes against 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の頻度と激しさを増している

Ukrainian officials point out that they face a chronic shortage of interceptor missiles for the US-made Patriot air defense system, which they describe as the only means capable of shooting down ballistic missiles of this type.

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不足しておりこれこそが同型の弾道ミサイルを撃墜し得る唯一の手段であると指摘している

Large-scale Russian attacks have become a routine sight this summer.

ロシアによる大規模な攻撃はこの夏日常的な光景と化している

Just two weeks ago, an attack by Russia on Kyiv and its surrounding areas claimed 17 lives, and two days prior, nine people died in the city itself.

ちょうど2週間前ロシアによるキーウとその周辺地域への攻撃で17人が命を落としその2日前には市内で9人が死亡した

The United Nations announced last week that Kyiv was among the cities hit hardest in July, with at least 54 civilians killed and 202 injured.

国連は先週キーウは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人が死亡し202人が負傷したと発表した

In the early hours of Friday, a Russian drone attack in Ukraine's Kharkiv region claimed the lives of two women, aged 73 and 66, and left two others injured, according to an official statement by the regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov.

金曜日の早朝ロシアによるドローン攻撃でウクライナの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名が負傷したと、州知事のオレフ・シネフボフ氏が公式に発表した

According to a statement from the Ukrainian Air Force on Telegram, Ukraine shot down or neutralized 107 of the 135 drones launched by Russia overnight.

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機のドローンのうち107機を撃墜または無力化したとのことである。

On Friday, a vehicle was struck in a Ukrainian drone attack near the village of Razumnoye in Russia's Belgorod region, resulting in one fatality and four injuries.

金曜日、ロシアのベルゴロド州ラズムノエ村付近で、ウクライナのドローン攻撃により車両が攻撃され、1人が死亡、4人が負傷した。

According to local officials, two of the injured are in critical condition.

地元当局者によると、負傷者のうち2人は重体だという。

Earlier, President Zelensky stated that another Ukrainian drone strike had targeted an oil refinery in Perm, located more than 1,600 kilometers from the border.

先にゼレンスキー氏はウクライナによる別の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にした述べた

Furthermore, he revealed that the Marinovka military airfield in Russia's Volgograd Oblast had also been subjected to an attack.

さらにロシアのヴォルゴグラード州にあるマリノフカ軍用飛行場攻撃の対象となったと明らかにした

The Russian online news outlet Astra reported that a Ukrainian drone ignited a fire at a refinery in Perm operated by Lukoil.

ロシアのオンラインニュース「アストラ」は、ウクライナの無人機ペルミにあるルクオイル運営の製油所引火させたと報じた

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

地元当局は、身元が特定されていない「産業施設」において損害が確認されたと述べた。

The Russian Defence Ministry announced that it had intercepted 325 Ukrainian drones overnight over 15 Russian regions and Crimea.

ロシア国防省は一晩のうちに15のロシア地域およびクリミア上空でウクライナの無人機325機を迎撃した発表した

Crimea is a territory that was illegally 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地域である

Late on Friday night, the ministry officially announced that it had shot down an additional 211 drones.

金曜日の夜遅く、同省はさらに211機のドローンを撃墜したと公式に発表した

Analysts point out that long-range attacks by Russia and Ukraine are intensifying, as significant advances on the battlefield remain difficult given that troop movements along the approximately 1,250-kilometer front line in eastern and southern Ukraine are severely constrained by numerous drones and ground robots that threaten infantry and vehicles.

アナリストらはウクライナ東部と南部の約1,250キロに及ぶ前線での部隊移動が歩兵や車両を脅かす多数のドローンや地上ロボットによって厳しく制限されているため、戦場での大きな進展が難しい中ロシアとウクライナの長距離攻撃が激化している指摘している

Over the past year, Ukraine has developed and deployed domestically produced long-range drones aimed at striking deep within Russian territory, capturing the attention of governments and defense-related companies worldwide.

過去1年間にわたり、ウクライナはロシア領内深部への攻撃を目的とした国産の長距離ドローンを開発・配備しており、世界各国の政府や防衛関連企業の関心を集めている。

Officials in Kyiv intend to make the Russian public acutely aware of the war's consequences and to pressure President Putin into peace negotiations.

キーウの当局者はロシア国民に戦争の帰結を痛感させロシアのプーチン大統領に和平交渉を迫ることを企図している

So far, Putin has shown no intention of halting the invasion.

プーチン氏は今のところ侵攻を停止する意思を表明していない
