Kyiv’s TV tower attacked after Russia warned of missile strikes
The TV tower in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv on Tuesday came under attack during Russia’s assault on the city.
Video released by Ukraine’s UNIAN news agency on Tuesday showed a dark cloud of smoke rising from the scene after the steel-lattice tower was apparently struck by two missiles.
The attack is causing disruptions to TV and radio broadcasts, the agency reported, however, the tower was said to still be standing. However, no casualties were initially reported.
Russia said earlier it would launch targeted attacks on the infrastructure used by Ukrainian intelligence service SBU.
Another air raid siren sounded across the city on Tuesday afternoon, and Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the situation as ‘threatening.’
“The enemy wants to conquer the heart of our country. But we will fight and not give up Kyiv,’’ he wrote on Telegram.
