According to reports, the missile strike aimed Kyiv, Kyiv region, Kharkov city as well as Poltava, Mykolaiv, Dnipro, Zhitomir, Khmelnitsky, Lvov, violin, Rivne, Cherkasy, Odessa, Kirovohrad and Chernihiv regions.

Words of Tymoshenko described the situation, “Most hits were recorded in the center and north of the country.
The situation in the capital is extremely difficult, special schedules of emergency shutdowns have been introduced.”
According to the sources, Electricity is out in at least half of the capital, Kyiv, and parts of Dnipro, Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Zhytomyr regions.
In Kyiv reportedly three residential buildings were hit. Medics and rescue workers were on their way to the incident scene said Klitschko.
However, the situation is very critical in many areas and the rescue team is trying to get control. Reportedly in Kyiv, at least two explosives exploded and one person was killed as Russian missile rained down. Electricity shutdowns have made the situation more difficult to tackle.
