– Hit an apartment building
Air defense sirens sounded in many places in Ukraine during the new Russian rocket and drone attacks at night. Authorities from several regions, including Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolajiv, reported Tuesday that their air defenses have warned, but the rockets still hit many spots.
An apartment building in Mykolayiv was hit and emergency services brought a dead man out of the ruins, Governor Vitalji Kim said.

He claims that the Russians have also bombed peaceful places like the flower market and chestnut park in Mykolajiv.

In the city of Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov denounced rocket fire. There were said to have been two series of explosions in the city in five minutes. According to preliminary information, an industrial plant was hit. The subway has cut off traffic and has been transformed into a crisis center.

Images on social media
Russian military bloggers close to the Kremlin also reported bombings in several regions. A large number of photos and videos were posted on social media showing clouds of smoke over the cities, allegedly documenting the new attacks. These photos and videos have not been verified as authentic.
