Украйны нийслэл Киев хот руу ОХУ-ын зүгээс баллистик пуужингаар цохилт өгсний улмаас таван хүн амь үрэгдэж, 23 хүн шархаджээ.
ОХУ-ын зэвсэгт хүчин өнөөдөр үүрээр Украйны нийслэл рүү баллистик пуужингууд харваж, томоохон хэмжээний довтолгоо хийлээ. Киевийн хотын дарга Виталий Кличкогийн мэдээлснээр, халдлагын улмаас орон сууцны барилга, агуулах болон хүүхдийн эмнэлэг гэмтэж, олон тооны дэлбэрэлт сонсогдсон байна. Одоогоор таван хүн амиа алдаж, 23 хүн шархадсан нь тодорхой болоод байгаа бөгөөд эрэн хайх, аврах ажиллагаа үргэлжилж байна.
Энэхүү халдлагын хариуд Польшийн зэвсэгт хүчин агаарын орон зайгаа хамгаалах зорилгоор урьдчилан сэргийлэх арга хэмжээ авч, цэргийн нисэх хүчний ажиллагааг эхлүүлснээ мэдэгдэв. Мөн Украйны хөрш Румын улсын нутаг дэвсгэрт ОХУ-ын довтолгооны үеэр дрон унасан болохыг тус улсын Батлан хамгаалах яамнаас баталлаа.
ОХУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путин лхагва гарагт хийсэн мэдэгдэлдээ Украйны зүгээс өгч буй цохилтууд ОХУ-ын эдийн засаг болон дэд бүтцэд тодорхой хэмжээний хохирол учруулж байгааг хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн юм. Украйн улс сүүлийн саруудад ОХУ-ын эрчим хүчний чухал байгууламжууд руу алсын тусгалт зэвсэг болон дроноор цохилт өгөх ажиллагаагаа эрчимжүүлээд байна.
Үүнтэй зэрэгцэн Украйны парламент лхагва гарагт Евгений Хмараг Батлан хамгаалахын шинэ сайдаар томилох шийдвэрийг олонхын саналаар баталлаа. Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Зеленскийн санал болгосон уг томилгоо нь өмнөх сайд Михайло Федоровыг долдугаар сард албан тушаалаас нь чөлөөлсний дараа хийгдэж буй улс төрийн томоохон өөрчлөлт юм.

Russian forces have unleashed a major attack on Ukraine in the early hours today, with multiple ballistic missiles targeting the capital Kyiv.
At least five people were killed and 23 have been injured in the strikes, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said, as witnesses reported more than a dozen explosions.
Poland said it was activating a range of defensive measures in response to the strikes unfolding across the border, describing them as “preventive military aviation operations”.
A children’s hospital in Kyiv was struck in the attack, Klitschko said, while people were trapped in one destroyed residential building and fires broke out in multiple locations.
The attack comes hours after president Vladimir Putin admitted that Ukrainian attacks were causing Russia harm, in statements made on Wednesday.
“Of course, such attacks have not caused, and could not cause, critical consequences. However, they do inflict damage; this is obvious, and we fully understand and acknowledge it,” he told a conference of ministers and business leaders on the economy.
Ukraine has upped its long-range attacks on critical energy infrastructure over the last few months.

Major Russian attack on Ukraine kills five and injures 23
At least five people were killed and 23 have been injured in Russian ballistic missiles strikes on Kyiv in the early hours today, mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
The attack has damaged buildings and left parts of the Ukrainian capital without power. A fire broke out after Russia attacked the upper floors of a nine-story residential building, Klitschko said, and people were trapped in another place as Moscow hit non-residential and apartment facilities, warehouses and a children’s hospital.
A Reuters witness reported hearing more than a dozen explosions.
In the region surrounding the Ukrainian capital, another person was killed, a local official said separately on Telegram.

The drones that the UK supplies Ukraine following Russia’s threat
Ukrainian army sources told The Times that drones made by two British companies have been used in the past six months to attack targets including oil refineries in Volgograd and near Moscow and logistics hubs.
Russia’s embassy to the UK said in a statement on Monday that the reports “confirm that London is deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis” and accused Britain of “seeking to contain Russia and inflict maximum damage on it by proxy”.
