***Kyiv was hit by a wave of Russian missiles in the first big strike on the capital in weeks, said the head of Ukraine’s military administration:***
Serhiy Popko said cruise and ballistic missiles rained down on the city from different directions, with air alerts lasting for nearly three hours.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said at least 10 people were injured across the city. An 11-year-old girl was among the two people taken to hospital.
Mr Klitschko first reported explosions in the capital at just after 3am.
Mr Popko said Russia used strategic bombers to carry out the attack while also launching some missiles from its territory.
“After a pause of 44 days, the enemy launched another missile attack on Kyiv,” he said. “All emergency services are working on sites. Clearing the consequences of the missile attack is underway.”
The attack comes amid a series of heavy cross-corder attacks between the two sides.
The governor of Russia’s Belgorod region said three people had been killed in “massive strikes” involving air attacks and ground incursions by armed groups from Ukraine.
Russia just showing what it means to be under Russian rule.
as usual, babyrage random missile strike
Only a matter of time before WW3 so lets crack on with it.
Russian Cruise missile came 150m of killing the Greek head of state.
That’s a NATO member’s head of state.
We came awful close.
It’s time to take out the Kremlin.
They were all shot down, I understand.
Just pass the fucking aide bill!!!
Ukraine targets the most valuable asset of Russia – oil.
Russia targets the most valuable asset of Ukraine – people.
Terrorist bastards in the Kremlin, one and all.
They’re just indiscriminately bombing anything. Literally no fucking military strategy whatsoever. Enough… time for Ukraine to return the fucking favor… more oil refineries. Destroy the fucking bridge… just figure it out. They have enough missiles to overwhelm air defense systems and take out the trusses and collapse the bridge.
France… it’s time. Start the soldiers and you’ll have some NATO countries follow you.
Kharkiv his by rockets recently and outer Sumy getting shelled.
Not looking good in the eastern front
Take out the Crimean bridge. Ukraine has friends in Russia, why not go back and finish what they started?
Should target all the oligarchs homes and businesses.
Long overdue considering what the terrorists in the western backed the Ukraine have done.
Good job.
This is why Ukraine should be allowed to strike Into Russia. Moscow, st Petersburg etc.
Does this mean Kyiv is out of surface to air missiles? Did Russia just use attrition and successfully wait out the burn rate of defensive missiles as the Republicans in the US house of representatives sat on US aid?
Sheesus. We really need to do something!!!
EVERYONE. What Tiktok dances haven’t we tried? There’s gotta be one that will win this for Ukraine!
Defence of Ukraine twitter account said that all 31 missles were shot down. I think The Telegraph needs to be banned for fake news.
