KYIV, 06 June 2022, (TON): Russia struck Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with missiles early 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.”
At least one person was hospitalized though there were no immediate reports of deaths. The strike was a sudden reminder of war in a capital where normal life has largely returned since Russian forces were driven from its outskirts in March.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak tweeted “the Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks. Today’s missile strikes at Kyiv have only one goal kill as many as possible.”
