Russian missiles hit Ukraine's capital for the first time since the start of Russia's invasion, as a reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation abandoned his broadcast.
The missiles hit as part of a Russian attack on multiple Ukrainian cities, many far from the front lines, which had been considered relatively safe.

At least five people were killed in the city, according to the police.
There is a chance that Russia will seek revenge for the explosion on the bridge that links Russia to the Ukrainian region of Crimea, according to the speaker.
The attack was a major blow to the country, but it did not take credit for it.
Bachega ducked his head and then left the frame as the explosions began in the broadcast.
No missiles or explosions could be seen in the video that was cut out. The anchor said that Bachega was taking cover at the time.
The broadcast was from an enclosed space.
When the invasion began in February, Russia attempted to take Kyiv. Instead, it focused on the war in the east of the country.
There was a period of relative normality until Monday's barrage of strikes.
The cities of Dnipro, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia were hit by Russia.
An adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs said that a children's playground was hit in the city.
The governor of the broader Kyiv region said on Telegram that people should stay in shelters.
"Our courage will never be destroyed by terrorist's missiles, even when they hit the heart of our capital," the defense minister said.
They won't change the determination of our allies. The future of Russia is the only thing they destroy.
