“Horrific Russian rocket strikes on Kyiv. Last time our capital experienced anything like this was in 1941 when it was attacked by Nazi Germany,” Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs tweeted. “Ukraine defeated that evil and will defeat this one.”
KYIV, Ukraine—Russian forces renewed bombing Ukraine in the early hours of Friday morning, with central Kyiv rocked by explosions, after President Vladimir Putin ordered an offensive that he said was aimed at toppling the government.
According to Ukrainian news outlet Liga.net, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that three people had been injured, one of them critically, when a rocket fragment hit a residential building in the city. The building is on fire and might fall, Mr. Klitschko said.
