Russian missile and drone strikes across Ukraine claim at least 18 lives

Transcript1

An apartment building in the central Ukrainian city of Uman was hit after a series of early morning airstrikes across the country Friday.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Russian missile strikes on two Ukrainian cities have killed at least 19 people. That's according to Ukrainian authorities. It's the first large-scale attack in Ukraine in about two months. The missiles hit high-rise apartment buildings and a warehouse2. Ukraine says it will investigate the attacks as war crimes. NPR's Joanna Kakissis has this report from Kyiv.

JOANNA KAKISSIS, BYLINE3: Most of the dead are in the city of Uman, south of Kyiv. A Russian missile hit a nine-story apartment building while most people were sleeping.

(SOUNDBITE OF MISSILE EXPLODING)

KAKISSIS: A video posted to Telegram by local residents showed flashes in the night and the sound of explosions. Ukraine's interior minister, Ihor Klymenko, spoke4 to a TV station while standing5 in front of a damaged apartment building still smoldering6 from the missile attack. The connection was bad as he spoke.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

IHOR KLYMENKO: (Non-English language spoken).

KAKISSIS: He said that a cruise missile struck the building early this morning, destroying more than half of the apartment and burying residents in rubble7. He said a child was among the dead. Uman is far from the front line and has rarely been the target of Russian attacks.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

KLYMENKO: (Through interpreter) Security services have opened a criminal investigation8. Forensic9 specialists are coming from Kyiv to help document this war crime as soon as possible.

KAKISSIS: Local officials said Russian forces also struck a nearby warehouse. The Russian military also hit a residential10 area in the central city of Dnipro, killing11 a 31-year-old woman and a 2-year-old child. The capital, Kyiv, was also targeted in today's attacks. But Ukrainian officials say air defenses shot down those missiles and drones and none did any damage.
