Several explosions were heard in the Shevchenkivskiy district of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said on the Telegram messaging app.
There was no immediate information on the cause of the explosions.
“Ambulance crews and rescuers dispatched to the scene,” Klitschko said. “There are people under the rubble. Some residents were evacuated, two victims were hospitalized,” he added.
The first Russian strike in the capital in nearly three weeks was aimed to “intimidate Ukrainians… at the approach of the NATO summit” to be held in Madrid from June 28-30, said the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko, who visited the scene of the explosion.

#Ukraine #UkraineWar #Kyiv
keep up the pressure Russia
Fake news
There is no Ukraine. This land belongs to Poland! Andrzej Duda will return our land to Great Poland! God save Duda and all Poles! 🙏
but what is wrong is a Russian merciful angel…………
Who were d man n women that were targeted? That’s expensive tech to use on just a average civilian
The better the Ukrainians do against Russia, the better for Europe and all Western countries.. Give them 🇺🇦 MORE weapons Fast
I think they could have let those separatist regions go, kind of like how South and North Sudan did, or Ethiopia and Eritrea, or Serbia and Kosovo.
Our western countries support separatism in one place and war in another.
It was not wise to oppress Russians when Russia is right next to you.
Have you seen aj news about Donetsk civilian targets shelling? But when it comes to Kiev – here we go
Ukraine winning while going backwards?
You really expect us to accept that a whole missle was shot by an army to target a whole apartment which was empty. Come on now 🤷🏽♂️
Israel showed others how to kill poor, just like Palestinians are suffering last 75 yesrs.
Members of Brics community is made up of a f—–g bunch of criminals talking of a new world order.
All member states of Brics should be deem a political terrorist organization
Genocidal Russian army. This strike on apartment building killed Russian man, injured his Russian wife and 6 year old daughter.
Russia is a terrorist state.
yes, further results from pope-pooper’s expensive, half-assed war. not so much as a firecracker shall land upon mother russia’s soil, komrade. you’d think pooper would do more to protect the fake government in Kyiv that he helped set up 8 years ago. pooper knows plenty about fake governments. expect final results similar to the afghanistan farce.
It’s fun to see a pro-western news channel where majority of the viewers are pro-Russian.
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
The entire Ukraine is on Putin’s mercy currently say whatever you want but that’s the truth 🙆
Good Job Russia ♥
we should also thinking that palastine, Syria and iraq, Afghanistan,,
F**K NATO 🖕
USA NATO pouring tons of money in this Proxy war
Ukraine contains lots of OI, GAS and FARMING ground. This is enough to
make Russia very very rich, they will not stop until the get everything and become very rich the next decade. People don’t care, that’s proven.
On the opposite, when Ukraine supplies Europe with gas then Russia becomes very poor. God bless Ukraine.
yaaay!
I don’t how reporter reach there and if its a brutal war how can be soo many reporters and fly to Ukraine?
Uraa glory to mother russ
Zelenskyy must agree to peace and stop the carnage! Russia WILL win the The Donbas and South Ukraine. Much love and prayers for the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and the people of Russia 🇷🇺 The Ezekiel 38 and 39 WAR is coming‼️
Wtf?! You guys told us that ukraine is about to take Moscow!!! Were you lying to us?!!
Ukraine’s and US-NATO lies and propaganda is failing and Ukrainians army, politicians and Zelensky ranting makes no sense – ! What a mess US-NATO got Europe into. Ukrainians army, politicians and Zelensk has lost all reality what’s happening on the ground in East of river diepier.
Ukraine’s army units are deserting in large numbers – – some unit with out any orders are leaving combat positions, walking away leaving all their hardware equipment behind, fearing Donbas militia and Russian artillery.
it looks as if the Ukraine frontline are running away as Russian army wall is hit.
Just a warning Smart people get out know
Ukraine is destroying only for a comedian
Chechnya, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine in the 21st century ! Who’s next ? Wars for resources go on !
U too bombed civilians in Afghanistan.,.
Did your reporter not look behind him on the other side of the street where Ukraine has the Artem missile development and manufacturing plant located in a residential neighbourhood? Or are you just a propaganda outfit, instead of journalists, because half a truth is as good as a lie?
Russia has no interests in killing civilians. Ukrania desperately needs to get more sympathy, arms, money so they desperately need good public relations actions.
Welcome to Ukraine, Hazel Nut! In Kyiv, in Kharkiv. Welcome! Everything is save in Ukraine, @Russia has no interset in killing civilians”. OK?
Russia has zero benefit for hiding residential area only if the residential property have been turned into a military warehouse of which many are
The Russian Federation will prevail! Unconditional surrender NOW 🧐
I wonder why the silly NATO leaders are fighting against the Russians and helping Ukraine with weapons, knowing from the beginning that Ukraine will loose causing much more victims in Ukraine and NATO has become much weaker
NATO is for Democracy, Destruction Of family society civilization around 💀💀💀💀💀🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤐🤐🤐🤐
I first heard of Cruise missiles during the Iraq War. Then used by US in large scale against civilian targets in Baghdad. Those were terrifying visuals as a child for me then. There are no winners in a war.
Russia is a terrorist !!!
Now that Russia has gobbled up 20% of their neighbors and has sent cruise missiles dropping in the central district of Kiev…That can only mean a base has been established to continue eating up Ukraine like a hungry bear….World we should ask our creator not to allow the unthinkable to take place because anything is possible in the year 2022…We have been warned by several nuclear armed nations and the countdown remains at ..10….9….8…..7…..6…..5……4……3…Before checkmate ..😨😰😱
Russia should use hypersonic missiles on New nazis
Thankfully there are more honest media outlets out there….It was confirmed on SKY news this morning that the most likely target of this attack was the nearby military base which I noticed your reporter failed to mention. I am becoming very disappointed in the biased coverage of this war by Al Jazeera. Very sad that these buildings were hit but they were obviously not the target. Actually there was a Ukrainian official being interviewed and he also mentioned the military base but hinted that it was no longer being used.
is it good now mr. Putin.
you started killing children and civilians again.
you know you are responsible for your actions.
I hate Putin.
اتمني السلام من اجل الجميع
They rescued Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Now they plan together to rescue Ukraine 🇺🇦
They are G7 Diktarors. They attacked iraq and Afghanistan and killed millions of people. That was not invasion. Now its invasion. Oh really? Were they not that they invaded Russia two times in 1. and 2. worldware??? No one will trust them anymore. What comes after Russia ? China??? I think China understands at least better than me
Amazing
A free Ukraine would support the world against Chinese hegemony. China has bought farms strategically around the world for decades. Ukraine, whole and free, is America’s best wedge in a war with China.
Understanding the history of war, I sort of find it quite amusing how the President of the United States could call what Russia is doing barbaric, when indeed during the war against Japan the United States annihilated several million people with a two nuclear bombs.
There seems to be a lot of play for sympathy about what’s going on in Ukraine, but the true facts are that the United States threatening Russia of what they would do if Russia would attack Ukraine in the first place is what caused all this to begin.
It’s Bidens territory where he makes all his money for his mansions, where his son was nearly prosecuted for being a part of a corrupt company stealing millions from Ukrainian citizens. I hope all Americans will really know what’s going on here. It really is Biden trying to save his business using all of our tax dollars and world media to do so.
Don’t forget what happened in Washington that great fight between the Democrats and Republicans over the corrupt dealings of Hunter Biden. The Biden family is corrupt and Ukrainian family is corrupt. They are a team that’s been working together for many years profiting from innocent citizens while destroying their life.
Now they are causing World War III and if they do it will be that war that the Bible has been talking about where 1/3 of all mankind will die. Biden is destroying the United States economy by shutting down all of our oil making industry and all of our fossil fuels in order to extract them from places like Ukraine where they can make masses amount of money and profit overseas for themselves. That’s what this is all about!
so you know when World War III comes that’s what started The whole process anyways. I know what Russia did is very bad and I wish they could’ve held back from attack in Ukraine. But Russia does not want the power of the United States at their doorstep ready to point missiles at them every single day for every single thing that United States doesn’t like about Russia in order to force Russia to be a different thing than what Russia is and has always been.
For a country like the United States who believes in freedom and peoples choice in the way they want to be, they certainly didn’t except the way that Russia was being govern and have been trying to manipulate Russia for years.
In this case two wrongs don’t make a right I,E equate to anything right. If the United States and the European Union wasn’t pointing missiles towards Russia and threatening them to change their ways into more like the European Union in the first place, this would not be happening! in the first place!
I support the Russian people in the needed effort to de-natzify Ukraine and eliminate all the US sponsored mercinaries.
This is Terrorism. Building has no military use at all.
Trump lost. Trump is a racist! God defeated him. Thanks my Lord……
If America can’t do anything about the ridiculous political state of its country perhaps the US could help the Ukrainians more. My GOD do something right. Why should the Ukraine suffer like they are because of terrorist Putin. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this was the plan all along. Europe and the US must know it is only a matter of time. The Jews in Germany ignored Hitler and soon he came for them. I know world leaders are not ignoring this war. But, we all know Putin will engage the next country. War will come to the world because of Putins greed, desire for power, and the state of his mental frailties. Get on with it now and save the Ukraine along with the world of further tyranny from Putin. We all hate war, but we all hate this Ukrainian atrocity as well.
Russia is not like uk or USA that kill millions in Iraq Libya Yemen Afghanistan and media keep their big mouths shut
This is KARMA
we can see damages. but “Kalibr” has 400kg of explosive part onboard, while S300 – only 150. 400kg will destroy the house totally. 150 – as one can see.
more, people says, that the house was resettled in April (due to the fact, that the war factory “Artem” is near it).
possible fake.
It’s time nato step in and make Russia halt the fighting..Ukraine is putting up a good fight but they alone can’t bring Russia to there knees
Just wondering. Did Al Jazeere cover these kind of targets hit by U.S. missiles in Afghanistan or Iraq or Syria?
Basically, the gene pool of two nations are destroyed. Guess who takes an advantage of that.
Pray to save the world///
Pure evil by putin and his forces. They just target anywhere they wanted to strike
Destroy all sources of Missiles..
including all Putin’s Ships in Black sea.
I’d guess that the Khazarian s are set up in these buildings if they are not then I’d go with it’s the Ukrainian army doing it to frame Russians in a negative intent
Another shipment storage of nato military equipment neutralised by Russia. Hopefully USA and Europe leaders will spend more tax payers’ money and send it to Zelenskyy and and the US military induatrial complex companies. And the whole cycle will start again, neutralised before even being used.
Russian operations
Great work
USA did the same in Yemen Iraq syria
Innocent people, having nothing to do with EU, russia, gas, NATO, borders etc are having their lives wasted for calculations of people in power.
We should have a system where people who want war should be made to wrestle in one on one fights.
Ukrainian terrorist were hiding there or Russian terrorist killed the poor civilians ? Can someone explain me
*LETS GO RUSSIA. THE WORLD SUPPORTS YOU*
Fock em up! Let’s go Russia.
Get those Natzis wherever they hide.
Sorry for the civilians being used by the Natzis as human shields and living among them
some civilians are really target of Putin. He thinks Ukraine Surrender if he targets civilians. heartless Putin and he can. pay by his life everyday due to his illness💪💪👊👊🇺🇦🇺🇦 keep strong ukraine
Putin is an evil
Madman that needs to be removed
😭😭😭
My sincere condolences to the Ukrainian civilians, not to the cowardly and corrupt Ukrainian government officials.
Well said my friend💯
@`National Green Party{01758^°st.lucia/[NGP}℅Public Relations Officer/spaghetti straps™oxars
I don’t speak Russian, but I think they are saying, surrender or we’ll destroy you, no matter what the West does.
Ukraine’s in ruins because of zelensky
They must start to run and hide or evacuate the next could be tornado😅.desaster is coming,you have much time to escape or die
So when will they return fire to Moscow and St. Petersburg?🧐
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪✌
What Will You Learn After DEATH?
Zylanski love war, now enjoy it with BEAR ‘S, Putin
Look like Palestine
Obviously a minor resemblance of the atrocities committed by the US and NATO and allies in Iraq, or Libya, or Afghanistan or PANAMA, or Vietnam, or their Nuclear test in Marshall islands or Heroshima or Guantanamo bay
It’s amazing the level of anger that 300 to 400 artillery shells landing in the residential area of Donestk shot by the Ukrainian military in the past few weeks will have. Do I approve of this missile strike on Kiev..no…. but I understand the response of all the dead civilians in the east that western media ignores.
Hit every weapons depot. 💝
Zelenskiy doesn’t care
If my neighbor decide to install guns,,arms,in his garden,,and calling all neighbors to do the same thing,,,,,,,I have the right to stop him,,..nazilensky should be in a mental hospital,, he is mentally disturb,,Mr Putin is doing the right thing,,,DEFENDING RUSSIA from a sick man,,,
Isn’t Ukraine winning? Shame on Aljazeera and the western media. Keep lying
This is just more propaganda against Russia. They are trying to make Russia look like the bad guy so they can create the excuse to go to war with them. God Help us all.
🤣

𝗢𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝗜𝗜
Last week, a conversation with Pope Francis was published, in which he related to the Russia-Ukraine war as the start of World War III. In a conversation with the editors of European Jesuit publications, and which was first published by the Italian Jesuit publication La Civiltà Cattolica, the Pope said, “The world is at war. For me, today, World War III has been declared.” Subsequently, he lamented, “What is happening to humanity that we have had three world wars in a century?” I do not believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a third world war or that it should devolve into one. However, the fact that there is such a danger, or that there is war at all, shows that we have not drawn the right conclusions, which puts us in harm’s way again.
It is clear to everyone that no one has anything to gain if the war in Ukraine escalates into a global conflict. That said, the war is yet another indication that we still do not know how to govern our desire for dominance and control.
We have come to a point where our ego does not settle for controlling others. Nowadays, people are willing to destroy others for simply behaving or even thinking differently from them.
If we want to prevent wars, we need to help all the nations realize that war does not bring any benefits, that we do not want it and do not need it. This is a process that must involve everyone, since each country must have its neighbors going through the same process, or belligerent countries will exploit other countries’ efforts to end violence.
If countries do not adopt this approach, they will continue to compete against each other, exploit each other and deplete the earth of resources. We are already seeing the consequences of this attitude on our planet, but they will grow far worse in the very near future. Hunger, extreme heat, extreme cold, and countless other problems will overwhelm humanity and force nations to stop abusing others and focus on their own survival.
To prevent this scenario from developing further than it already has, humanity needs to understand that we must learn to work together or nature will destroy us. Currently, many nations are still dreaming of conquests and subjugations of other nations. We must gradually make these nations understand that doing so will only harm them, and harm everyone else, as well. Unless we help everyone realize that we are dependent on each other for better or worse, and we must act accordingly, we will all be in big trouble..
