BBC reporter ducks as explosions rock Ukraines' capital Kyiv
BBC News 10 Oct 2022
Explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Monday (October 10), after Russia accused Ukraine of orchestrating a powerful blast that damaged a key bridge linking Russia and Crimea.
Explosions have been reported in other cities across the country, including Lviv, Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia, in what appears to be the most widespread set of Russian attacks since the early weeks of the war.
A BBC journalist in Kyiv, Hugo Bachega, was delivering a news report when several explosions happened in the centre of Ukraine's capital city.
Just over an hour later, after heading to shelter with his camera crew, the BBC re-established contact with Hugo.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of attacking the bridge to Russian-annexed Crimea, saying that it was an "act of terrorism".
President Putin said Ukraine's intelligence forces had aimed to destroy a critically important piece of Russia's civil infrastructure.
He was speaking at a meeting with the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin.
Officials say three people were killed in the blast on the bridge.
The victims were in a nearby car when a lorry blew up, Russian officials say.
"There is no doubt, this is an act of terrorism aimed at destroying Russia's critical civilian infrastructure," Mr Putin said.
"Its authors, perpetrators and beneficiaries are the security services of Ukraine."
Mr Bastrykin said that citizens of Russia and some foreign states had aided preparations for the attack.
