One dead, more than 33 wounded in massive Russian attack on Kyiv
An apartment block was hit by falling debris, killing one and leaving at least 33 people wounded as Russia launched massive air attack on Kyiv on Tuesday (January 2).
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said an elderly woman had died in an ambulance after being wounded by the debris after Ukraine shot down incoming weapons.
Russia attacked with waves of different missiles during the morning rush hour, striking residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Military authorities issued air alerts that lasted for at least three hours.
Klitschko said gas pipelines had been damaged in Kyiv's Pecherskyi district, and electricity and water had been cut off in several districts of the capital. Rescuers were putting out fires in several places, he said.
The loss of electricity and water brought back memories of last winter when Russia pounded the energy grid, causing frequent power cuts and plunging millions into darkness.
After the initial aerial barrage, Yuri Ihnat, spokesperson for the Ukrainian air force, said the situation remained tense and that air defences were bracing for more Russian missile launches.
Russia has stepped up air strikes on Ukraine over the New Year period, and on Friday (December 29) conducted its largest air attack of the almost two-year-old war on Ukraine, killing at least 39 people.
