ah ah ah. russian airstrikes on the ukrainian city of denise pro landing near a kindergarten killing at least one person. ah. hi there. i'm kim vanelle with continuing extensive coverage of the war and ukraine . of already endured hardship, the anxious wait for people trying to stay safe in ukraine's capital. as russian forces approach you satellite images appear to show the large rush and military convoy near key of has split up to be re deployed into towns and forests. nearby

also had a serious escalation. the u. s. as north korea is testing a new intercontinental ballistic missile, major ukrainian cities have faced more bombardments with growing humanitarian crisis in areas cut off by russian forces. ukraine's emergency services say 3 airstrikes, landed near a residential building and the kindergarten in denise pro these pictures from their killing one person. the city was once considered relatively safe for those fleeing besieged areas of ukraine. civilians and the port city of mario pole are struggling for food and for fuel half the days of russian bombardment grain says more than 1300 people have been killed there. and this and you, there it is. satellite imagery show, the russian convoy that was sitting outside of the capital key of has now been

repositioned part of the convoy a thought to be shouting the city of labianca. it's got to hold on for me to join us live now from denito. honda, what's happening there? well, this is actually the 1st time that this city was targeted since the beginning of this war. it happened very early this morning, around 6 30 in the morning. we heard the air sirens go off for quite a while. now what we do know that there were 3 strikes. it's not clear what is air strikes or rock it strikes the military still had the military here still has to give us details about that later. it's down that road. it is an industrial complex that was hit. we do know that in there, that is one heavy machinery factory. we do also know that there might be some sort of a factory that does chemicals of fertilizers is still not clear. the details are not

there, but that the industrial complex factory is actually interconnected by some sort of rail, a way system. we are not allowed to go there. as you can see, there's a police coordinating of that area we are told because they're still checking. if there's any unexploded ordinance there, but this is the 1st time that the new pro, the 3rd largest city in this country has been head. and certainly something people were wondering when it was gonna happen. not if it was gonna happen. yeah, you've been reporting mayor for a while. honda with, as you say, people preparing what people planning to do now. now that it appears the city is coming under attack. well certainly i mean a large number of people have left the city. we were by the romanian border just 2 days ago. and a lot of the people who were standing there trying to get out of the country, told me they were coming from denise pro because they felt it was getting closer and closer. they obviously watch what as unfolded in hierarchy with horror with

fear. and so a lot of people have already left i wouldn't be surprised now that after this 1st strike. so some of those who are still in this city will try to do. a the same thing, as i said when he 1st arrived here, it was a safe place, is actually the place where the people fleeing. for example, this south that where you pulls up a region or from the north is hoping would come here as a transit point on their way out of the country on their way west of the country. so it was very important, it is very important to keep it safe, especially that you have the siege and more youthful at the moment. it is expected that a large number of people will come out of their large number of wounded will come out of that. and ne pro would be the place really where they could 1st stop or get their treatment and then go travel further away. so i would expect that

this will cause a shock. i don't think i surprised because anyone i spoke to since the beginning was telling me it's not about a matter of whether this city will behave, but when it will behave and it happened 2 weeks into the war. now i think people will be wondering what's gonna happen in the next few days and the or the next few hours actually for now. thanks that update. hold on. tell me there. at long for us in denito, half the population of kia has now left his russian forces move closer. towns on the outskirts of the capital have come under intense challenge, and people escaping a telling of atrocities they say. a being committed by russian soldiers, said boston reports from cave. chased away thy bombs and bullets. these refugees are trying to understand why their lives were destroyed in just 2 weeks. the apartments shalt and burnt they took the brunt of the russian offensive towards the capital, residence of boucher and warsaw in the north west of keith were finally evacuated.

after being locked up in their basements for days, with little food and water, their cities now under russian control. well, what is long the russians tell us not to be afraid. they will not hurt us, but they create conditions that are very frightening. we see that people who try to move out of the city by cars carrying their things a being shot at. we could see the front seat covered in blood fit, lana dirtier escaped with her husband and children after russian troops shot at our house and took over the apartment block if one the wall and they are going 30 years later, they said nothing to people whose apartments they occupied to one person, they said just go to the basement building. one neighbor wanted to come to his flat to take some clothes before evacuating. but they did not allow him. he left with only his documents, utter stellers about russian soldiers throwing smoke grenades into basements, to force people out and ordering men and boys to strip and crawl. a woman tells us

an 11 year old boy was killed doing that, if not only managed to escape a war zone, but also the harshness of life under russian occupation. many here are too afraid to share their stories on camera instead of liberating ukrainians from that system and flaring me put and says he wants to do men here. say there is nothing liberating about this war or jim or morgan for jerry. the russian advanced towards the capital received a serious blow when ukrainian forces destroyed part of a large column of tanks, ukrainian air for so far as also managed to protect the give from serious attacks from the sky. that ukraine is suffering losses to lafayette nickel thought about the lucas lost our tanks bombed as well in the streets of boucher. there is a large column of destroyed russian tanks, but close to our house. there is a column of ukrainian tanks also destroy, going to be full of me, escaped, rushing, occupied butcher, just one hour away from keith. he says the russian soldiers match people fall into

a significant change in tactics where they're redeploying forces to other areas to back up front lines of what they doing is securing a supply line, making sure that they can get enough food and fuel to be able to mount an attack on the capitol whereas keep a so not entirely sure exactly what's happening, playing the a mixture of both of those things to show you around the capital, they should be one of the busiest surf. it's actually conclude about 15 percent of the city is actually a vacuum. but what we're seeing now, growth is people fleeing from other areas coming into teams. now either going to try to stay here, show or they're going to leave. but it is a significant. busy development, the people are coming in to this city. i can just see the red cross like there has been people coming in and out of that a lot of what we're saying,
