New Delhi, Feb. 27: Even after three days of fighting, Ukrainian forces continue to put up fierce resistance to slow the advance of the larger and more powerful Russian military closing in on the capital.
The United Nations on Saturday confirmed at least 240 civilian causalities. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been throwing up some harrowing videos of the military conflict.
Russia’s attack on Kyiv continued on Sunday morning, with two large explosions lighting up the night sky south of the Ukrainian capital. While one detonation appeared to be approximately 20 kilometres, or about 12 miles, from the city centre, the second explosion rocked the southwestern part of Kyiv just before 1 am (local time), CNN reported.
However, at the same time, the Telegram channel of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection warned against misinformation, saying this was not a nuclear strike, although the explosion was visually similar to that.
Heavy shelling was reported in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine in the early hours of Sunday.
