Video circulating on social media shows the moment the top of the mast broke, rotated through 180 degrees, and fell to earth.
The top section of a giant television tower in Kharkiv has crashed to the ground after the structure was hit by a Russian missile, a Ukrainian official says. Smoke could already be seen billowing from the structure where it had apparently been struck by what Kharkiv prosecutors said was a Kh-59 cruise missile. Subsequent videos also posted on social media show the mast lying where it fell, surrounded by trees at the foot of the tower.
Kharkiv – located just 30 kilometers from the border with Russia – has seen a big increase in Russian strikes since the start of the year. A month ago, the city’s main power plant was destroyed in a Russian strike, along with all electricity substations in the city, according to the mayor.
