Russia Strikes Kyiv For First Time In Weeks As Battle Rages In East by KillerCrocodile: 6:04pm On Jun 05, 2022
Russia struck Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with missiles early on Sunday for the first time in more than a month, while Ukrainian officials said a counter-attack on the main battlefield in the east had retaken half of the city of Sievierodonetsk.

Dark smoke could be seen from many miles away after the attack on two outlying districts of Kyiv. Ukraine said the strike hit a rail car repair works; Moscow said it had destroyed tanks sent by Eastern European countries to Ukraine.

According to Ukrainian military spokesperson, Russian warplanes hit Kyiv with missiles.

Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers launched missiles at Kyiv from the Caspian Sea early on Sunday and two of the Ukrainian capital's eastern districts were rocked by explosions, Ukraine's air force and the city's mayor said.

At least one person was hospitalised though no deaths were immediately reported, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said. Dark smoke rose into the sky above the Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts where the explosions rang out.

The attack targeted railway infrastructure, according to Serhiy Leshchenko, an aide to President Volodomyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff.

Russia's Defence Ministry said it had fired rockets at Kyiv from long distance and destroyed T-72 tanks and armoured vehicles that had been supplied to Ukraine by eastern European countries and were held in a railway carriage repair building.

Ukrainian air defences destroyed one cruise missile at around 6 a.m. local time after identifying incoming missiles, Ukraine's air force said.

Lmao. Are you dreaming? Russia already controls 90 percent of the Luhansk, leaving Sevedonetsk and Lysichiansk to complete 100 percent. Quit dreaming.
