Powerful Explosions Heard in Ukraine's Kyiv Following the Sinking of a Russian Warship

    


Russian Warship sinking


Ukraine War: The explosions appeared to be among the most significant in the capital region of Ukraine since Russian troops withdrew earlier this month.


Kyiv/Lviv: Powerful explosions were heard in Kyiv early Friday, and air raid sirens blared across Ukraine as residents braced for new Russian attacks following the sinking of Moscow's lead warship in the Black Sea due to a fire. 

The explosions appeared to be among the most powerful in Ukraine's capital region since Russian troops withdrew earlier this month in preparation for battles in the south and east. 

The missile cruiser's crew of over 500 people was evacuated after ammunition on board exploded, according to the ministry, which did not confirm an attack. Ukraine claims to have hit the warship with a locally manufactured Neptune anti-ship missile.

The ship's destruction comes as Russia's military continues its Black Sea shelling of Ukrainian cities some 50 days after the invasion began. On the adjacent Azov Sea, residents of Odesa and Mariupol have been prepared for additional Russian attacks.

In an early morning video speech, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alluded to the sunken warship, warning of Russian intentions to target the eastern Donbas region, including Mariupol.

Air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine shortly after midnight on Friday, and continued to blare in the eastern districts of Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia even after the rest of the country fell silent, according to Ukrainian media.
