attack" on the Ukrainian capital. Vitaly Klitschko said around 90 people were injured. He said an ambulance station was among the places hit in the strikes and declared Friday a day of mourning. Although previous attacks have killed more people, this latest barrage deployed the largest number of weapons on the capital and hit locations over a very wide area of Kyiv. Several neighborhoods were evacuated as strikes rocked buildings throughout the city, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing an attack. Moscow said its forces hit what it called military plants in retaliation against attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday that Russia would "continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime in order to achieve our set goals". Ukraine accused Moscow of targeting civilian areas and said it would be wrong to equate the actions of the "aggressor and a country defending itself". Children were among the "significant number" of casualties, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's ​military administration, said. "The enemy is once again deliberately targeting residential areas and killing civilians," he said early on Thursday. Among the places hit by the strikes was a high-rise block of flats, part of which was blown off in south-east Kyiv. (BBC)
