School children run for cover during a Russian ballistic missile strike in Ukraine

Screaming school children can be seen running for cover during a missile strike in Kyiv, Ukraine on Monday. Explosions have rattled Kyiv during daylight as Russian ballistic missiles took aim at the Ukrainian capital – hours after a more common nighttime barrage of the city by drones and cruise missiles. Russian forces fired 11 ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv at about 11.30am (8.30am GMT), according to Ukraine’s chief of staff Valerii Zaluzhnyi. All were shot down, he said, and puffs of white smoke could be seen in the blue sky over the city from street level. Debris from the intercepted missiles fell in Kyiv’s central and northern districts during the morning, landing in the middle of traffic on a city road and starting a fire on a building’s roof, the Kyiv military administration said.
