KYIV, Ukraine, April 6, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv overnight partially 
destroyed a building housing offices of state channels broadcasting in foreign languages, a television channel 
said Sunday.

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight, striking several targets and killing 
at least two people.

"On April 6 overnight, a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv caused significant destruction to buildings 
housing the editorial offices of Ukraine's State Foreign Broadcasting Enterprise," the Freedom television 
channel, which broadcasts in Russian, wrote in a report.

"The top three floors of the business centre where the foreign broadcasting channels were located were 
completely destroyed, with a large crater nearby. The lower floors were also heavily damaged and are now 
unusable," Freedom reported.

Kyiv officials previously said that an overnight missile attack had damaged several floors of a business 
centre.

Emergency services posted images of a large building with its roof torn off and windows blown out.

Freedom said the building housed Freedom, Dom, UATV English, The Gaze, UATV Español, UATV Arabic and 
UATV Português -- state foreign-language television channels and online media.

No employees were hurt in the attack, the head of the state broadcasting enterprise, Yulia Bin,said.

The channels had only recently moved into the building after a previous strike in February targeted their 
previous offices, Bin said.

"This is the second attack in less than two months. The facilities destroyed this time were the very ones we 
had just moved into after the February strike," Bin said.
