The airport in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has been badly damaged in fresh Russian shelling, a local official said Sunday.
“There has been another attack on Dnipro airport. There is nothing left of it. The airport itself and the infrastructure around it has been destroyed,” the head of the city’s military administration, Valentin Reznichenko, said on Telegram.
“Rockets keep flying and flying,” he added.
He said authorities were seeking to clarify information about victims. An AFP reporter saw black smoke in the sky above the airport and fire trucks entering its grounds.
A plane also took off from the airport later on Sunday, suggesting the runway was still functioning.
Reznichenko said attacks on the city, which lies on the banks of Dnieper River, intensified on Sunday.
