Bridge in Crimea has suffered severe damage.
A day after Moscow accused Ukraine for an assault that gravely damaged the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia, heavy bombing began early Monday morning in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. The western part of the city of Lviv has also come under attack. There have been reports of fatalities and injuries over the whole of Ukraine.
Several city-center targets were targeted by Russian airstrikes in the early morning hours. Since June, there have not been any such assaults on the capital of Ukraine until now.
According to statements made by the mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, on social media, there have been "many explosions" in the Shevchenkivskyi neighborhood, which is located in the center of the city.
Videos that may be seen on the internet show thick black smoke rising over several parts of the city.
It has been reported that ambulances are moving towards the bombed areas of Kyiv; however, there has been no information on the number of people who have been injured.
The western Ukrainian city of Lviv has also come under attack. According to President Zelensky, "dead and injured" people may be found across Ukraine.
Putin holds Ukraine responsible for the assault on the bridge.
Three persons were killed when an explosion occurred on the bridge that connected Crimea to Russia.
In reference to the bombing of a bridge in Crimea on Saturday, which Russian President Vladimir Putin referred to as a "terrorist act," Putin added that the Ukrainian secret services were "the creators, perpetrators, and supporters" of the attack.
The commercial vehicle that was thought to have caused the explosion was a Russian-registered vehicle.
Later on Monday, Putin will convene a meeting of his Security Council.
The explosion at the bridge prompted people all across the world, including Ukrainians, to celebrate on social media.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not make any direct reference to the event during his nighttime speech on Saturday, and authorities in Kyiv have not made any clear claim of responsibility for the attack.
On Saturday, Russia announced that some road and train travel had resumed across the crucial connection. This link is a symbol of the Kremlin's takeover of Crimea in 2014, therefore its reopening is significant.
The 19-kilometer bridge between Russia and the annexation of the Crimean peninsula serves as an important supply conduit for both countries.
Concerns raised by Moldova about potential missile trajectories
The government of Moldova said on Monday that Russian cruise missiles aimed against Ukraine had penetrated its airspace, prompting the country to call Moscow's ambassador and demand an explanation.
"Three cruise missiles fired on Ukraine this morning from Russian ships in the Black Sea breached Moldova's airspace," stated Moldova's Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu on Twitter. "The missiles were launched on Ukraine from Russian ships in the Black Sea."
I have given the order for the ambassador of Russia to be questioned in order to get an explanation.
The government of Moldova is pro-Western, despite Moldova having once been a member of the Soviet Union.
Since Russia began sending soldiers into Ukraine, there has been an influx of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of refugees into the nation.
As a demonstration of solidarity for Moldova in the face of Russia's attack, the European Union has awarded the country candidate status.
Transnistria is a minor area that has declared independence from Moldova and is backed militarily and financially by Russia.
