Russia targeted cities across Ukraine with missiles and drones in a relentless overnight assault that persisted until Thursday daytime.

ロシアは木曜日の日中まで続いた一晩にわたる猛攻撃で、ウクライナ全土の都市をミサイルとドローンで標的にした

Explosions reverberated around Kyiv throughout the morning.

キーウ周辺では午前中を通して爆発音が鳴り響いた

Ukraine is grappling with a critical shortage of American-made Patriot air defense systems capable of countering Russian ballistic missiles, and now, four and a half years after the full-scale invasion began, Moscow's high-speed jet-propelled drones have emerged as an additional threat.

ウクライナはロシアの弾道ミサイルに対抗し得る米国製パトリオット防空システムの深刻な不足に直面しておりロシア軍による全面侵攻開始から四年半を経た今モスクワの高速ジェット推進ドローンも新たなる脅威として浮上している

According to Ukrainian officials, Russia is bolstering its missile stockpiles and launching large-scale attacks every few days, seeking to exploit its numerical advantage to gradually erode Ukraine's defenses.

ウクライナ当局の報告によるとロシアはミサイル備蓄を増強し数日ごとに大規模な攻撃を繰り返すことで、数の優位を利用してウクライナの防御を徐々に弱めようとしている

In response, Ukraine has been striking high-profile targets within Russian territory, with both nations locked in a cycle of mutual destruction.

これに対しウクライナはロシア領内の注目度の高い目標を攻撃しており両国は相互に破壊行為を続けている。

The Russian Ministry of Defence announced that, since Wednesday night, it had carried out a "large-scale" attack on a group of targets located in nine Ukrainian cities.

ロシア国防省は水曜日の夜以降ウクライナの9都市に所在する目標群に対して「大規模な」攻撃を実施したと発表した

The ministry stated that the targets were of a military nature, encompassing industrial facilities, oil refineries, logistics hubs, and port infrastructure.

その目標は軍事関連のものであり工業施設石油精製所物流拠点港湾インフラが含まれると同省は述べた

The damage has also extended to areas including civilian apartment blocks, and according to Ukrainian authorities, a 78-year-old woman lost her life in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, one death was confirmed in the northern Kharkiv region, and at least 14 people were injured in other areas.

民間の集合住宅を含む地域一帯にも被害が及んでおり、ウクライナ当局の発表によれば南部ザポリージャ州では78歳の女性命を落とし北部ハリコフ州でも1人の死亡が確認されたほかその他の地域では少なくとも14人が負傷したという。

"Russia continues to invest in missiles and the expansion of the war, which is precisely why a greater array of countermeasures becomes indispensable," President Zelensky of Ukraine posted on social media, referencing the fact that European nations had pledged additional air-defense support earlier this week.

ロシアはミサイルと戦争拡大への投資を継続しておりそれゆえにより多くの対抗手段が不可欠となる」とウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領はソーシャルメディアに投稿し今週初めに欧州諸国が追加の防空支援を約束した事実に言及した

"It is also crucial that these measures are complemented by an additional ballistic missile defense package, with Europe procuring weapons from the United States," he stated.

これらの措置は欧州が米国から兵器を調達することで追加の弾道ミサイル防衛パッケージによって補完される点も極めて重要だと述べた

Although the Russian Defence Ministry maintains that only military-related targets were struck, it appears that, following Ukraine's long-range drone attacks that placed financial strain on Moscow, Russia has resolved to weaken Ukrainian enterprises through assaults on civilian businesses, thereby inflicting severe damage on the economy.

ロシア国防省は軍関連の目標のみが標的とされたと主張しているがウクライナの長距離ドローン攻撃がモスクワに財政的圧迫をもたらした後、ロシアは民間企業への攻撃を通じてウクライナの企業を弱体化させ経済に深刻な打撃を与える方針を固めたようだ

The companies stated in their announcements that Russian drones had targeted three major distribution centres, obliterating warehouses belonging to a toy chain and a confectionery manufacturer, while also inflicting damage on another warehouse operated by an electronics retailer.

ロシアの無人機が主要な配送センター3か所を標的にし玩具チェーン店と菓子メーカーの倉庫を壊滅させさらに電子機器小売業者が運営する別の倉庫にも損傷を与えたと、各企業が声明で明らかにした

Furthermore, with the harsh winter months looming, Moscow persisted in its efforts to cripple Ukraine's power grid.

さらにモスクワは厳冬の数ヶ月を目前に控えウクライナの送電網を破壊するための努力を継続した

Four powerful glide bombs destroyed the generating equipment of a thermal power plant in the southern Kherson region, and according to the operating company Naftogaz, the plant was forced to cease operations.

President Zelensky was scheduled to visit neighboring Moldova on Thursday to celebrate its national day, commemorating the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

ゼレンスキー大統領木曜日隣国モルドバを訪問し1991年のソビエト連邦からの独立宣言を記念する国慶日を祝う予定だった

Ukraine, too, had declared its independence in the same year.

The Eastern European neighbor of Russia harbors concerns that Moscow's invasion of Ukraine could escalate into a broader conflict, and drone incursions into its airspace have further fueled such anxieties.

東欧のロシア隣国は、ロシアによるウクライナ侵攻より広範な紛争へと発展しかねないとの懸念を抱いており自国領空へのドローン侵入そうした不安を一層掻き立てている

Moldova's Ministry of Defense announced on Thursday that five unmanned aerial vehicles had violated its airspace overnight, though it refrained from identifying their point of origin.

モルドバ国防省は木曜日一夜のうちに無人航空機5機が自国領空を侵犯したと発表したがその発射元については特定を避けた

The Ukrainian Air Force announced that its air defense units had shot down or neutralized seven Russian ballistic missiles, yet it disclosed nothing about the specific methods employed.

He stated that the attack had damaged a 16-storey residential building, two educational facilities, and a grain elevator.

同氏はこの攻撃により16階建ての住宅2つの教育施設、そして穀物エレベーター損傷を受けたと述べた

Odesa serves as a key hub port for the export of grain and other agricultural products from Ukraine.

According to an announcement by the Ukrainian state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia, following the attack, some train services were forced to endure delays exceeding seventeen hours.

ウクライナ国営鉄道会社ウクルザリズニツィアの発表によると攻撃を受けた後一部の列車の運行17時間以上に及ぶ遅延余儀なくされたという。

According to a statement from the Ukrainian General Staff, aircraft-launched missiles struck both the primary and reserve command posts near Donetsk in eastern Russia.

Having devastated the vast logistics warehouses of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, over the past few months, Ukrainian drones have now set their sights on Ozon, the country's second-largest e-commerce giant.

ウクライナの無人機はここ数ヶ月の間にロシア最大手のオンライン小売業者であるワイルドベリーズの巨大物流倉庫を壊滅させた後今度はロシア第2位の電子商取引大手オゾンを攻撃対象に定めている

Ozon initially announced that its logistics facilities in Orenburg and Ufa had been attacked, though no fire had broken out at either site.

オゾンは当初オレンブルクとウファの物流施設が攻撃を受けたもののいずれの施設でも火災は発生しなかった発表した

In a subsequent corrective statement, the company said that only the Ufa facility had been targeted, while the Orenburg site, although evacuated following an alert, had resumed normal operations.

その後の訂正声明では攻撃されたのはウファの施設のみでありオレンブルクの施設は警報を受けて避難したものの通常業務を再開した述べている
