• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Ukraine's air force has twenty eight Russian ballistic missiles were
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: detected in a wave that started just after midnight. The
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: air raid sirens sounded, but there wasn't much time for
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: people to take shelter because those ballistic missiles arrive so
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: quickly and they were not able to intercept any of them.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: It's not clear whether they tried and failed or whether
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: they simply have no air defense missile interceptors left. President
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Zelenski has once again appealed for the supply of those
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Patriot missile interceptors to increase. He's been pleading repeatedly for
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: more of those air defense missile interceptors, and he said
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that if they had been available last night, lives could
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: have been saved. He's also called for further tougher sanctions
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: on Russia to limit its ballistic missile capacity because it
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: was clear last night that Russia still is able to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: inflict damage and destruction right at the heart of the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Ukrainian capital. We know that some postal and distribution warehouses
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: were hit on the edge of the city. There were
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: intense explosions and then the sight of fires around the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: edge of the city, and search and rescue teams are
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: still at work searching for any of the survivors or
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the injured, and the death toll keeps increasing. It's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: clear whether this was Russia acting in direct response for
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the attacks that Ukraine has been able to inflict on
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the distribution and warehouse centers of Russia's biggest online retailer,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: but there have been an increasing amount of long range
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: attacks over recent days and Ukraine is counting the costle.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This morning, President Zelensky has shared a video on social
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: media of what appears to be a drone hunting down
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a man in southern Ukraine, saying it showed an instance
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of Russian Safari attacks against civilians. The man escaped with
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: multiple shrapnel wounds and concussion. The UN is warning of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: an alarming rise in civilian attacks in the war. Our
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams reports from Kiev.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: This is the moment a drone chases a Ukrainian vegetable
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: seller in Hersan. The video was shared by Ukraine's President
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Zelenski and a warning what you're about to see is distressing.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: The man's name is Yuri. He says he was setting
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: up his stall when the drone arrived and started chasing him.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: He says he even showed his vegetables to the drone
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to prove there was no reason to attack him. The
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: drone hit his vehicle amazingly, he survived and Yuri was
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: left with shrapnel wounds. This is one of the most
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: graphic examples of what Ukrainians called the human safari, where civilians,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: not soldiers, are tracked down and attacked by drones piloted
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: from Russian positions across the river. People in Hersan have
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: been living with this threat ever since the city was
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: liberated at the end of twenty twenty two. The incident
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: has been described as a barbaric war crime by Ukraine's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: foreign minister. President Zelenski said the world needed to see
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: how Russian soldiers has enjoyed killing and tormenting people.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So we can still see the smoke rising after the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: attacks that happened in the early hours of the morning
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and overnight in Kiev. Russia's attacks on Ukraine. At least
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: seventeen people are known to have been killed in these attacks.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: This is one scene. At least eight people were killed
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at a railway station in Brovari outside Kiv. There were
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: three people killed at a Nova poshta postal service hub
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: inside Kiv itself, and as well as the railway station

  Speaker 1: in Brovari, there has been a warehouse belonging to a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: major electronics retailer destroyed as well Raziepka just outside Kiev
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and a food warehouse, so really devastating strikes by Russia
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on Ukraine.
• 4:47
