At least three Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, the capital,
have reported explosions from yet another Russian missile attack.
As many as 60 Russian missiles were seen heading for
different targets, Sky News quoted an Ukrainian official as saying.
Air raid sirens sounded all across Ukraine on Friday morning
with civilians directed to head to shelters as “the attack on the capital
continues”.
Southern Kryvyi Rih and northeastern Kharkiv also reported
attacks from the missile.
So far, two deaths and at least five wounded people including
two children have been confirmed in Kryvyi Rih.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, a top official in President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy’s office, also reported a strike on a residential building in the
city, warning that “there may be people under the rubble”.
Power shutdowns have been also been witnessed across the
country as some of the missiles have reportedly struck energy facilities in
several regions.
Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, had earlier threatened
nuclear retaliation should Western countries continue to interfere in the
crisis with Ukraine.
Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe’s largest, fell under
Russian control in the early days of the war.
The first major power outage in the plant was in August with
Ukraine narrowly escaping a nuclear disaster.
Analysts have claimed that such strikes targeting energy
infrastructure are part of a new Russian strategy to freeze Ukrainians into
submission.
Putin had said the war would not end till he achieves his
goal of “demilitarising and de-Nazifying Ukraine”.
