Flames shot out of a 15-story apartment building in western Kyiv which was hit by an airstrike Tuesday, as Russia’s relentless bombardment of Ukraine edged closer to the center of the capital city.
Thick dark plumes rose from the building as firefighters attempted to douse the blaze. Several floors were blackened.
A spokesperson for Kyiv’s fire department said at least two people had died and 47 had been rescued.
In the Lukyanivka district of Kyiv, an office of a military factory was targeted.
The roof was seriously damaged and smoke could be seen rising from the building.
Shortly before dawn, large explosions thundered across Kyiv from what Ukrainian authorities said were artillery strikes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said barrages hit four multi-story buildings in the city and caused dozens of deaths.

That so sad people in Ukrain
It’s okay, I changed my profile pic to a Ukrainian flag, everything is fine now.
The strength and willingness of that fire fighter is inspiring.💜
Send Joe and Kamala there now
They were innocent armed civilians in that building and there were more armed civilians walking around behind that fire firefighter😳😳😳
We should not blame Russians for these atrocities they are the work of Putin whose time is about to end
Fuck ya let's gooooo
everyday ppl cry, suffer, lose everything, lose someone, we all die but not all live. so putin woke us up? we never knew how bad is the world?
His tears telling a lot of stories that he sees and rescue every day!! My heart hurts so bad for 🇺🇦 praying for all of these people.
If Putin kills everyone it would be easy transition
This makes me want to end Putin. I understand, he's sick, truly. So he deserves help & healing at some core moral level & I shouldn't joke about wanting to erase someone, but 0:22 ignites my fury and makes me a big fan of the $1 million bounty that was put on his head.
"…the worst thing is that children are dying." – Andryi, Ukrainian firefighter
pukeraine being turned into a wasteland is very satisfying 🇷🇺 👍 🚀
God bless this young man
🇺🇦 🇺🇸
Stop putting your anti-defense missiles on roof top of civilians Ukraine 🤦🏻♂️
These MFs world leaders should do a duel "till death" themselves instead of this madness … Total ban on Wars 🙏
Families in Russia are leaving everything behind and going to other countries they don't need visas. They can't live in what putin has created in Russia. He's trying to destroy one country while destroying his own.
I don't believe any of this…… these are all crises actors, very bad ones at that. This whole fake fight is happening for a reason, to get into the peoples mind. You believe what you see in front of you, if you would look in your peripheral you'll really see what's going on.
This is enough killing, why Russia want to kill more?
Small potato as opposed to the US/NATO indiscriminate bombings in the middle east. Have you all seen the hundreds of crippled children due to these bombings? I shed tears for them also. Did you? Or, do you now?
They need more crisis actors in Ukraine.
I thought it was a war crime to place defensive positions on civilian habitats.
Talk about more than 20 civilians being bombed and killed in Donbas by Ukrainians yesterday. Talk a..holes
We think about military people but we don’t think much about first responders. They have the most difficult job.
I don't know what to say brother, I feel indebt yet incapable, shamefull as I sit here and eat, as I drive to work, as I watch children being killed.
🥲
If there are lots of people in the building, why only report 1 or 2 casualties ?? The Ukraine army are inside , taking advantage of higher ground against Russian troops.
Ukraine getting small taste of what those anglo bastards were doing in the middle east last 20 years
