Another air alert in Kiev: Mayor Klitschko calls on residents to go to shelters. Several explosions are heard. At least one residential building is damaged.
According to Ukrainian information, a residential building was damaged in a Russian rocket attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev. According to initial information, a building in the central Pechersky district was damaged, said the head of the military administration in Kiev, Serhiy Popko. So far there is no information about possible victims.
At least five explosions were heard in Kiev around 10:30 a.m. (local time) on Monday. Journalists from the AFP news agency reported that there had been an air alert shortly beforehand. “Explosions in Kiev. Go to shelters immediately,” wrote Mayor Vitali Klitschko in online services. Rescue workers are on the way to three city districts, he added.
Kiev had already been the target of Russian attacks twice in the past week. The electricity infrastructure was damaged. Several hundred thousand people were cut off from power.
Just on Sunday, an air strike kept the Ukrainian capital in suspense for more than two hours. Rockets arrived in Kiev from the north. Apparently there were no victims. There were reports of damage to a building facade.
