Gulf Times
Cars are seen on fire after Russian missile strikes in Kyiv.
Missile strikes on "many" Ukrainian cities including the capital Kyiv left people dead and wounded on Monday, the country's presidency said, a day after Moscow blamed Ukraine for an explosion on a bridge connecting Crimea to Russia.
"Ukraine is under missile attack. There is information about strikes in many cities of our country," Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office, said on social media, calling on the population to "stay in shelters".
In Kyiv, AFP reporters heard several loud explosions starting at around 8:15 am local time (0515 GMT) -- during Monday morning rush hour.
Russia's last strike on Kyiv took place on June 26.
