Russia strikes Ukrainian capital Kyiv with missiles as war escalates

Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital has finally been struck with missiles for the first time since the military campaigns by Russia on the country, took off in February, indicating that there might not be any relenting soon in the hostilities that has caused a lot of stress elsewhere around the world, with rising food and energy crises as a result.
Reports, cite explosions in many other parts of the country, which, with support from European countries, has been able to largely contain the Russian onslaught and even managed some successes in recent weeks to inflict casualties on the invading army, and cause a pushback on them on many battlegrounds.
BBC reports that at least two blasts were heard in central Kyiv shortly after 08:00 local time (06:00 BST) today, Monday, October 10, 2022, and more have followed, while quoting Ukraine’s defence minister saying that the upscale of the attacks, two days after the only bridge linking Russia with occupied Crimea was damaged in a blast would, not deter his country’s soldiers from the fight.
The strikes show that Russia is “trying to destroy us and wipe us off the face of the Earth,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was quoted as saying, after highlighting in a Telegram post, that the blasts in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro, “the air alarm does not subside throughout Ukraine. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded.
Zelensky, who had continued to rouse his people to against the invasion, urging the Ukrainian soldiers to fight on, while calling for continued support from Europe in terms of more funding and arms, further urged the ordinary citizens to stay in shelters.
The report, which said that no words have come from Russia, since the attack, Monday morning, also informed that President Vladmir Putin would be due to chair a meeting of his security council today to discuss the explosion on the Crimean bridge.
