Ukraine: Smoke rising in central Kyiv after explosion at TV tower

Описание: #Kyiv #KyivTVTower #Ukraine #UkrianeNews #UkraineRussia #Russia

At least two explosions struck near the base of Kyiv's 1,300ft TV tower this afternoon, sending plumes of smoke rising into the sky though the antenna itself remained standing. It was not immediately clear whether the tower itself had been targeted, or the buildings around it. The attack came just hours after Russia's ministry of defence said it would be bombing 'strategic' targets in the city and warned civilians to evacuate or risk being killed. That raised fears that Kyiv was about to come under heavy bombardment after the cities of  Kharkiv, Mariupol and Kherson were hit by indiscriminate shelling earlier in the day. A column of Russian artillery units and tanks 40 miles long has been pictured snaking its way towards Kyiv as analysts warned it will likely be tasked with surrounding the city, besieging it and bombing it into submission as Putin resorts to 'medieval' tactics in an attempt to force victory. Meanwhile Ukraine warned that Belarus had also thrown its own soldiers into the fight with an attack on the north eastern city of Chernihiv.
