(2 hours ago)Russian forces attacked Ukrainian capital Kiev on Thursday, killing at least 10 people and wounding more than 50 others, while fears and rockets hit residential buildings in what Russia called a revenge for recent attacks on its civilian infrastructure.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had earlier warned of a possible night attack and said he was cutting his visit to Dublin for the start of Ireland's six-month term in the rotating EU presidency.
Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko, writing on Telegram, said 10 people were killed, while the damage included six floors of an apartment building that was partially destroyed after a direct blow by a Russian shell, reports Reuters.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital's military administration, said 56 people, including two children, were injured and three dozen locations across the city were damaged in attacks. The enemy has once again deliberately targeted residential neighborhoods and killed civilians. We've suffered serious damage and a significant number of victims, including children”, he wrote on the telegram.
