A Russian airstrike struck Kyiv’s iconic television tower on Tuesday, killing five people and sending shockwaves through the Ukrainian capital. The attack, confirmed by Ukraine’s interior ministry, marks a grim escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The TV tower—a symbol of media infrastructure—was engulfed in flames after the explosion, with emergency crews racing to the scene. \"This is an attempt to silence our voices,\" a local journalist told crowds gathered nearby, as broadcasts were temporarily disrupted.
Residents shared videos on social media showing plumes of smoke rising near the tower, a landmark visible across the city. While Ukrainian defenses reportedly intercepted several missiles, officials warned of potential further strikes on critical sites.
Globally, leaders have condemned the attack, calling it a \"reckless targeting of civilian infrastructure.\" The incident raises urgent questions about the humanitarian impact of the war—and what’s next for Ukraine.
