Five people were killed and another five were wounded after missiles hit Kyiv on March 1 within hours of Russia warning that its military would launch strikes at sites in Ukraine’s capital.

Ukranian officials said the strikes on a television tower resulted in 10 casualties and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a memorial site to the Holocaust was also struck.
