Fatal Consequences of Being Locked Out of Shelter During Russian Bombardment in Kyiv

At least three people, including a child, were killed and 19 injured in Kyiv after they were locked out of a bomb shelter amid the wail of air raid sirens during Russia's bombardment. Russia launched seven ballistic and three Iskander cruise missiles from the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, but though air defenses shot them all down, debris hit a hospital and numerous residential buildings, leading to the casualties. With Russia increasing the frequency and ferocity of its missile attacks on Kyiv and other cities and towns around Ukraine, residents have less time to seek safety in the bomb shelters that have sprung up around the country in the wake of Moscow’s full-scale invasion.
