Oct 21 (Reuters) – Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles on Wednesday evening, damaging homes and a petrol station and causing injuries, officials said.

The city’s military administration said missiles hit some private homes, as well as a petrol station on the eastern side of the Dnipro River that bisects the city.

It said there were injuries, but provided no details.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that the city had come under missile attack and urged residents to remain in shelters.

Reuters witnesses reported explosions in the city.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
