By
Local officials said Sunday that another round of Russian shelling has destroyed the airport in central Ukrainian city of Dnipro
According to Valentin Reznichenko, the city's military administrator, "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. Rockets keep flying and flying."
Reznichenko said the authorities are attempting to clarify information about victims.
The attacks on the city, located on the banks of the Dnieper River, intensified on Sunday.
Despite being targeted by Russian forces since the invasion, this industrial city of one million people has escaped major destruction.
After rebuffing a Russian offensive on Kyiv, Ukraine anticipates a renewed Kremlin assault on the east and south of the country.
