A strike on a housing block in Kyiv has killed at least two people, the emergency service has said, as several areas of the capital came under attack.
“The bodies of two people were recovered, 27 were rescued,” Ukraine’s emergency service said on Facebook, adding that the 16-storey building was located in the Sviatoshynsky district in western Kyiv.
Another residential building in the Podilsk area had also come under attack, it said.
The bombing also damaged a metro station in Kyiv. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claims Russian military equipment hidden in the forest was attacked with artillery and destroyed.
Based on the latest information, the Russian army, which is heading towards Kyiv, did not advance during the night.
Today, March 15, the next round of talks between Russia and Ukraine is scheduled, which has been fruitless so far.
