Less than a few hours after issuing a warning, Russia is striking a television tower in Kyiv, knocking out broadcasts, according to a Ukrainian ministry.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs says that “channels will not work for a while,” as footage circulates on social media of strikes on the television tower in the capital.
“The backup broadcasting of some channels will be enabled in the near future,” it says.
