RUSSIAN STRIKES ON KYIV’S TV TOWER KILL FIVE PEOPLE

Tue 01 March 2022:

An attack by Russian forces on a television tower a couple of miles from central Kyiv has killed five people and wounded five others, Ukrainian emergency services have said in a statement.

Officials said a TV control room and a power substation were hit, and at least some Ukrainian channels briefly stopped broadcasting.

Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons, reporting from Lviv, said the attack was preceded by a warning by the Russian defence ministry about two hours prior. The ministry warned Kyiv residents living near installations possibly used for military intelligence purposes to evacuate.

The definition, however, applies to a vast number civil installations. “This could apply to police stations, even,” Simmons said.
