Russian strike levels Kyiv shopping center, killing 8

What they're saying: “Shops, pharmacies, gas stations, institutions will not work tomorrow,” Klitschko said.

• “Therefore, I ask everyone to stay at home or in shelters — at sound of an alarm. Only those with special permits will be able to move around the city.”
• Klitschko said in another post that firefighters had extinguished a fire in the Podilskyi residential district from the strike, which also damaged six apartment buildings and the premises of two schools and two kindergartens.
• He warned residents to wear masks because of air pollution from the strike and fires.

The big picture: There was no visible evidence of any military vehicles or hardware at the mall, according to the Times.

• The strike is another example of Russian forces targeting civilian buildings in Ukrainian cities.
• They have bombed multiple civilian targets — including a children's hospital — in Mariupol.
