Air raid sirens have been heard in the capital Kyiv and across two-thirds of Ukraine continuing more than a week of a renewed Russian air campaign. Ukrainian emergency services issued air raid alerts for Kyiv and most of central and eastern Ukraine early on Tuesday, extending from Vynnitsya in the west to all eastern regions and south to Kherson and the Odesa region on the Black Sea, the Reuters news agency reported. It stepped up its air campaign on April 28 amid reports that Kyiv would soon launch a new counteroffensive to retake lands occupied by Russia. The United Nations has said at least 8,791 civilians have been killed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year.
