Five killed in attack on Kiev's TV tower, civil defence agency says

Five killed in attack on Kiev's TV tower, civil defence agency says
At least five people were killed and five others injured in a suspected missile attack on Kiev's TV tower on Tuesday, according to Ukraine's civil defence authority. Video released by Ukraine's UNIAN news agency showed a dark cloud of smoke rising from the scene after the steel-lattice tower was apparently struck by two missiles during Russia's siege of the city. The attack briefly caused disruptions to broadcasts, but transmissions have been fully restored and the tower is still standing, the deputy head of the presidential office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said.
