at 7:30 by a horrible sound. i it was so frightening, the missile was flying and everything was buzzing, so noisy. you are left in no doubt that this was a direct missile strike, the scale of the damage, the size of the blast zone, the heat caused. you re more used to seeing damage caused by falling debris when a missile is intercepted, but this reflects the scale of this russian attack. and scenes like this are being replicated right across ukraine. a lucky escape in kharkiv in the northeast. this city is familiar with missile strikes, but not 20 in a single morning. a shopping centre in dnipro in the east, as well as a maternity hospital, were hit. it didn t stop there. this is the port city of odesa in the south, where a residential block was struck. zaporizhzhia wasn t spared either, where at least eight were killed. even lviv in the west, which sometimes feels farfrom this invasion, wasn t immune this time. all military targets were hit, as far as russia s defence minist

james landale is in kyiv. today s strikes were unusual for two reasons one, because they came in the daylight, and secondly, because they appeared to be targeted here at the centre of the city. until now, most of the air strikes came at night and they were targeted at the outskirts, at national infrastructure and some of the air defences itself. so the authorities said they managed to shoot down 11 ballistic and cruise missiles. of course, that meant that there was a lot of debris that came from the skies, landing on the ground, damaging some buildings. but miraculously, there were reports ofjust a few injuries. so what we re seeing is an uptick in tempo of this conflict. russia is putting more pressure on the capital here in kyiv, but it s also striking military targets elsewhere. ukraine admitted rarely that one of their military facilities in the west of the country had been targeted, an oil depot set on fire, some aircraft damage. at the same time, ukraine is steppi
