Russia fires more missiles at targets across Ukraine on Tuesday

Missile raids continue this morning in Ukrainian cities. Images of the aftermath of a Russian missile attack show the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia in complete devastation.

According to Ukrainian officials, at least one person has been killed.

During this latest attack, Ukraine’s state nuclear energy company said that a deputy director general at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been kidnapped.

In a post on its Telegram channel, Energoatom said that “Russian terrorists kidnapped Deputy Director General for Human Resources of Zaporizhzhia NPP Valeriy Martyniuk, [and are] holding him at an unknown location.” 

They said the Russians wanted the plant’s personnel files “to force Ukrainian staff to work for Rosatom [Russia’s nuclear operator] as soon as possible.”

A strike was also reported in Lviv. The missiles were launched from two russian aircraft.

According to the Ukrainian military, four missiles were shot down. Air raid sirens have sounded in multiple regions of Ukraine, with officials appealing to residents on the messaging app Telegram to stay in shelters.

This comes after a series of attacks yesterday that killed almost 20 Ukrainians, injuring almost 100 people.
