Kiev hit with strikes after attack on Russian e-commerce giant
Russian strikes killed one person and wounded 13 others in Ukraine's capital on July 19 after Kiev launched a deadly wave of drones that struck e-commerce warehouses in Russia.
The latest bombardment highlights a dual challenge for Ukraine in its fifth year of war, facing almost daily Russian attacks alongside rare domestic political instability triggered by a sudden wartime shakeup of its military leadership.
AFP journalists in Kiev heard explosions moments after the Ukrainian air force warned residents via Telegram of incoming ballistic missiles.
One of the explosions was so powerful it set off alarms of cars parked in the city centre, an AFP journalist said.
