The Defense Ministry in Moscow has confirmed a large-scale raid on military-related targets<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Multiple videos have been published on social media showing explosions rocking Kiev and other Ukrainian cities amid Russian airstrikes. The Defense Ministry in Moscow confirmed carrying out a major raid on military-related targets across Ukraine in response to terror attacks by Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

The first wave of blasts in the Ukrainian capital was heard at around 1:30 AM local time, followed by more explosions in early morning hours, according to Ukrainian officials and media.<\/p>\n

In one clip, a powerful blast is followed by the lights going out, plunging much of Kiev into darkness.<\/p>\n

Other footage captured the sounds of repeated secondary explosions. The exact locations and types of facilities hit are difficult to verify as Ukrainian authorities tightly restrict information about strike sites and penalize those who share footage of impacts, except when civilian infrastructure is affected.<\/p>\n

Multiple blasts were also reported in parts of Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye still under Ukrainian control, as well as in Sumy and Kharkov regions.<\/p>\n

Later on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its bombardment<\/a> targeted defense industry facilities, fuel and transport infrastructure facilities used by Ukrainian forces, and military airfields across the country.<\/p>\n

Land- and sea-based precision weapons, including hypersonic missiles and drones, were deployed during the attack, it said.<\/p>\n
