(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, MAY 30 - Russia fired a barrage of
missiles at Kyiv on Monday, sending panicked residents running
for shelter in an unusual daytime attack on the Ukrainian
capital following overnight strikes. A series of explosions rang
out in Kyiv as Russia targeted the city for the second time in
24 hours. The latest barrages landed as the Ukrainian capital
was still recovering from an overnight Saturday drone attack,
the biggest since Russia's invasion began in February last year.
AFP journalists heard at least 10 explosions from around 11:10
am local time (0810 GMT) in Kyiv, starting just a few minutes
after an air raid warning sounded. Authorities later said
Ukrainian air defences had downed all the Russian missiles
launched against the Kyiv region. One injured man was
hospitalised, they said.
The Russian capital and its surrounding areas were targeted
