Kiev: Russia intensified its airstrikes in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, at midnight last night. Al Jazeera reported that drones and cruise and ballistic missiles were used to attack around 10 centers.
The BBC also reported that four people were killed, many were injured and there was extensive damage. The authorities have advised the people to be alert and move to safe places.
The BBC also reported that city mayor Vitaly Klishko said the rockets landed in the central districts. Serhiy Popko, head of the Ukrainian military, said that it was rare in recent years for so many missiles to be launched from the Russian capital Moscow in such a short period of time.
Ukraine claimed to have repelled airstrikes centered on the capital city and destroyed most of the enemy missiles in mid-air. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been on European tours for the past few days.
He met French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and representatives of other Western allies. There was also an agreement to provide arms worth billions of dollars to Ukraine.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak came out yesterday promising more weapons to Ukraine. After this, Russia intensified its attack.
