PUTIN'S WAR: "A really heavy attack! A message from the Russians!" Heavy explosions in Kiev
According to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, at least 20 people have been killed and around 50 injured in heavy Russian missile attacks on Ukraine. The areas most affected were Kryvyi Rih in the south of Ukraine and the capital Kiev. A large children's hospital in Kiev was also hit, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyj wrote on the social network X.
The number of victims there has not yet been determined. The head of state published a short video showing destroyed hospital rooms and traces of blood on the floor. Zelensky said that people were buried. "Everyone is helping to clear the rubble - doctors and other people," he wrote.
Other cities also affected
According to initial information from the city administration, at least seven people were killed and at least nine injured in the city of Kiev, which has a population of three million. According to the military administration of Kryvyi Rih, at least 10 people were killed and over 30 injured after the impacts. Damage was also reported from the city of Dnipro. Other targets were reportedly the towns of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, which are close to the front, in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk.
According to Zelensky, the Russian military used more than 40 missiles in the attack. It was unusual that the heavy attack took place during the day at the start of the working week. There had already been air strikes with drones, cruise missiles and rockets during the night.
Ukraine has been fending off a Russian invasion with Western help for over two years and is constantly pushing for the provision of modern air defense systems. According to recent information, Ukraine has received four of the particularly powerful Patriot systems, but it believes it needs many more.
