Russia launched a wave of attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv early Tuesday, striking residential buildings and energy infrastructure, according to video footage and local authorities. At least four people were injured in Kyiv. A high-rise residential building had been hit in a district on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital’s military administration. Four people had been treated for injuries and at least eight rescued from the building, he said. Pictures posted on unofficial Telegram channels showed apartments on fire on upper floors. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said another high-rise building was being evacuated after being hit in the city centre’s Pechersk district. He also reported disruptions to Kyiv’s power and water supplies.
Ukrainian airstrikes killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian port city of Taganrog, the mayor said early Tuesday. “As a result of the massive overnight airstrike on our city, two apartment buildings, a private home, the Mechanical College building, two industrial enterprises, and Kindergarten No. 7 were damaged,” mayor Svetlana Kambulova posted to Telegram.
