Heavy Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and the northeastern city of Kharkiv killed at least five people, wounded dozens and caused widespread damage on Tuesday, Ukrainian officials said.
Four civilians were killed and 92 others were injured in the capital of Kyiv, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on his Telegram channel, as Kinzhal missiles that can fly at 10 times the speed of sound bore down on the city.
Strikes in Kharkiv killed one person and wounded more than 40 others, as well as damaging multi-storey buildings, said the head of the city’s military administration, Oleh Syniehubov.
The attacks struck residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, hours after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said an air strike on the Russian city of Belgorod, which killed 24 civilians and which he blamed on Ukraine, “will not go unpunished” and promised to intensify attacks.
