Brussels The sirens wailed again, and people fled to shelters and subway stations. The authorities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities warned on Tuesday that there was still a “high risk of rocket attacks”, even if the intensity of the impacts seemed to have decreased compared to Monday.
According to the Russian account, the missile salvos are aimed at command centers of the Ukrainian armed forces, communications facilities and the country’s energy infrastructure.
