Russia unleashed a firestorm of attacks on multiple Ukrainian cities after a blast damaged a bridge in Crimea and crippled a key Russian supply line

As the Russian military launched strikes on several cities in the country, there were a number of blasts in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro were also attacked, according to Mykhailo Fedorov. Several other cities, including Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Ternopil, had also been struck.

Russia's cruise missiles are frightening. The houses were destroyed again. People were burned in their cars on the way to work in the morning. There were blasts in Dnipro. Russia should be acknowledged as a terrorist state.

Several explosions had been reported in the mayor's city.

There had been several explosions in the Shevchenkivs'kyi district, the mayor of Kyiv said in a statement.

Matthew Luxmoore, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, posted a video on Telegram which he said was the aftermath of shelling.

On Telegram on Monday morning, the governor of Kyiv advised everyone in the city to remain calm and stay in shelters.

The air alert is continuing. Stay in cover. He advised against photographing or filming damaged infrastructure. It's important to people's lives. Let's keep going.

The New York Times reported that air raid sirens could be heard across the country. People were on their way to work and school when the explosions happened.

Zelenksy responded to the attacks on Telegram.

They want to wipe us off the face of the earth. People are sleeping at home. Zelenskyy said to kill people who work in Dnipro.

The air alarm is still going off in the country. He said there are missiles hitting. There are dead and injured. Do not leave the shelter. Don't forget to take care of yourself and your family. Let's keep going and be strong.

At least 13 people were killed and dozens were injured when a Russian missile struck an apartment building.

A key supply route connecting Russia and Crimea was damaged in a blast over the weekend. Russian President Putin celebrated the opening of the bridge in May of last year, four years after annexing the peninsula.

At least three people were killed in the explosion. The bridge blast was labeled a terrorist act by Putin.

The Ukrainian government has not officially claimed responsibility for the blast, but has implied that it was involved.
