Kyiv faces 1st attack in 3 weeks
UKRAINIAN capital Kyiv was bombed by Russian forces for the first time in three weeks yesterday.
The fresh attacks saw 14 missiles target residential buildings.
Emergency services were seen battling flames and rescuing civilians from the blasted out windows of burning apartments after large bangs shook the city at about 6.30am.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko initially said two people were injured and a girl, seven, was pulled alive from the rubble.
Oleksiy Goncharenko, a Ukrainian MP, said according to data 14 missiles were fired at the capital.
Before the attack, Kyiv had not faced an onslaught of Russian air strikes since June 5.
Klitschko called the blasts an attempt to “intimidate” the city ahead of G7 and Nato summits taking place this week.
Meanwhile, in other parts of Ukraine including in the south, nine missiles fired from Crimea hit the port city of Mykolaiv on Saturday, Ukraine said.
