With the Russian military operation entering its nineteenth day, the Ukrainian authorities in Kyiv confirmed that Russian bombardment today has targeted areas in the east and north of the capital.

A number of people were killed and injured when Russian artillery fire targeted an eight-storey apartment building in northern Kyiv, which also caused a fire that firefighters managed to control.

On the other hand, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Russian artillery fired a shell at a field command center of the Ukrainian forces, and destroyed it completely, without announcing the location of the center or the time of the strike.
