00:01Russian drones and missiles pounded Ukrainian cities, leaving several dead and many injured
00:06on Tuesday. Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched 656 drones and 73 missiles overnight,
00:13mainly targeting Kiev. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its massive overnight
00:18strike on the country was a response to what it called terrorist acts against targets inside
00:24Russia, and said it had struck a range of Ukrainian military targets using high precision,
00:29long-range weapons. Authorities confirmed fatalities in the cities of Kiev and Dnipro
00:34following days of warnings that Moscow was planning a major assault. Mayor Vitaly Klitschko of Kiev said
00:40that aside from the deaths recorded, children were among those injured in the strikes. He also said
00:46a suspected missile strike on a 24-story apartment building triggered a collapse, which likely left
00:51people trapped under the rubble. Witnesses said thousands sought shelter in the capital subway
00:56system. In Dnipro, Regional Governor Oleksandr Hansha confirmed several deaths and said all those
01:03injured in the attack on the area were in the hospital in moderate condition. Meantime, Mayor
01:08Ihor Terekhov confirmed a child was also among the handful of people hurt by attacks on Kharkiv.
01:14Air raid warnings sounded over much of the country early Tuesday after Ukrainian President Volodymyr
01:20Zelensky reiterated warnings the previous day of a possible major assault. Russia said last week that
01:26it intended systematic strikes on targets in Kiev over what it says was a drone attack on a dormitory
01:32in Russian-held Luhansk, which killed 21. Ukraine denied conducting that strike. Though the situation
01:38is now all too familiar for most Ukrainians, it isn't getting any easier.
01:43I only dreamed that this war will end soon, but I've lost all hope. I don't know. It's hard.
01:56Sorry for getting emotional.
