Russian Forces Resumed Attacks In Ukraine

Klitschko said on social media that there were explosions in the Darnytsky district on the outskirts of the city.

According to report, Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, has urged residents who have evacuated from the capital not to return just yet after the city "came under fire" on Saturday morning.

One person has died and several more were injured in the attacks, he said.

"I ask you to refrain from this and stay in safer places," he added.

His comments come after Russian forces resumed attacks on Kyiv and beyond after warning on Friday that it would intensify long-range strikes in retaliation for unspecified acts of "sabotage" and "terrorism", hours after it confirmed the sinking of its Black Sea flagship, the Moskva.

Russian forces have renewed their attacks on Kyiv today with Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, urging residents who have evacuated from the capital not to return just yet after the city "came under fire" on Saturday morning.

Ukraine's presidential office says Russian missile strikes and shelling over the past 24 hours occurred in eight regions: Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv in the east, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Kirovohrad in the central Ukraine and Mykolaiv and Kherson in the south.

The strikes underlined that the whole country remained under threat despite Russia's pivot toward mounting a new offensive in the east.
