Bombing of the Albanian Embassy in Kiev, Mayor Klitschko visits the area

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has visited the bombed area in the Ukrainian capital, where the Albanian Embassy was also located, which suffered extensive damage.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry says six different embassies have been damaged by Russia's missile attack on Kiev this morning.

According to foreign media, rockets hit the capital at 7 a.m., killing one person and injuring 12 others, local authorities said.

The embassies of Albania, Argentina, Palestine, North Macedonia, Portugal and Montenegro are located in a building severely damaged by the Russian attack.

"In the embassies' premises, windows, doors and the ceiling were damaged. This is an absolutely barbaric attack by Russia on diplomatic institutions," said spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi.

No casualties were reported among the diplomatic staff, but the attacks seriously endangered their lives, A2 CNN writes.

We recall that earlier the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of Albania condemned the attacks, calling them brutal. (A2 Televizion)
