Krieg gegen die Ukraine: Russland beschießt Kiew mit ballistischen Raketen
Schwere Explosionen erschüttern Kiew bei nächtlichem Raketenbeschuss. Viele Bewohner müssen wegen des Luftalarms erneut Schutz suchen. Bürgermeister Klitschko zufolge sind Rettungskräfte im Einsatz.
Kiew, the capital of Ukraine, was hit by ballistic missiles from Russia in the night, according to reports. The city heard several intense explosions after the air alarm was triggered. Military channels reported a minimum of fourteen missiles in the first three waves of attacks. Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that one person had been killed and two others injured.
Emergency services were dispatched to various districts of the city. A house in one district was damaged and may have had people trapped under the rubble, Klitschko wrote on the Telegram platform. Local media reported multiple fires in the city area. The attack occurred at 1:00 AM local time (0:00 UTC), following a day with eleven air alarms.
Fast combat drones with jet propulsion frequently struck the city, against which Ukraine's air defense has little capability. Kiew lacks ammunition to counter ballistic missiles. Klitschko reported that two people were killed and 45 injured in Kiew on Wednesday. Russia has been waging a brutal war of aggression against its neighbor for more than four and a half years. Ukraine is defending itself with the help of Western support.
