An air alert has been sounded in the Kiev region and other regions in eastern and central Ukraine. Earlier, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting an attack on the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine rejects this. Russia’s statement may indicate that it is preparing for a major “terrorist” attack on Ukraine in the coming days, according to an aide to the Ukrainian president.
At least 16 people were killed in Russian airstrikes in the Cherson region of southern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian sources. The prosecutor’s office in Kherson announced on Telegram that 22 other people were injured. Russia has launched heavy attacks against civilians in the region.
