Russia carried out a new strike against a military factory near kyiv, Ukraine, on Saturday April 16. The Kremlin carried out its threat to reinforce the bombardment of the capital.

A district of kyiv (Ukraine) was hit by a Russian cruise missile on Saturday April 16. The target is a military factory, building tanks. Moscow (Russia) continues its reprisals, after the loss of its flagship, sunk Thursday in the Black Sea by the Ukrainian army. Already on Friday, April 15, another arms factory was bombed on the outskirts of kyiv.

Kharkiv (Ukraine), the country’s second city, was also hit in the morning. Firefighters are trying to find survivors. “All the windows, all the furniture, everything was destroyed“, says Valentina Ulianova, a resident of Kharkiv. Despite the strikes, hundreds of Ukrainian refugees abroad are beginning to return to the country. The mayor of kyiv (Ukraine) has nevertheless urged the evacuees not to return to the threat of bombing.
