Ukraine-Russia War: Air raid sirens cut through morning calm in Kyiv after invasion | Listen

India Today  

Air raid sirens were sounded in Ukraine's capital Kyiv earlier today as Russia announced military operations in the eastern part of the country. Civil defence sirens pierced the calm surrounding the capital city as the country woke up to a gray, drizzly morning and a Russian invasion. Despite several warnings of an imminent attack in the weeks leading up to the invasion today, the country seemed to not know how to react, reported news agency Associated Press. A panoramic shot of the Maidan Nezalezhnosti, or Independence Square, showed vehicles plying on the streets as authorities sounded the air raid alert.
