An air raid alert was activated over Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv in the early morning hours of Tuesday, with officials posting a warning on Telegram urging residents to immediately seek shelter. The alert came just days after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy cautioned that Russia was gearing up for a major assault.
In another part of the country, the city of Kharkiv — Ukraine’s second-largest — came under attack from drones and two missiles, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, who shared the information via Telegram. Terekhov reported that one woman was wounded in the strike.
Reuters was unable to independently confirm the specifics of either incident.
