Arrr! The remains o' them Russian missiles be causin' a blaze in the capital o' Ukraine, killin' two souls and injurin' eight more. So say the blokes in charge o' the military there. Avast ye, what a mess!

Arrrrr, me hearties! Ukrainian officials say that debris from blasted Russian missiles started a fire that killed two and injured eight in Kyiv on Saturday. The head of Kyiv's military administration, Serhiy Popko, said more than 20 missiles were detected and taken down by anti-aircraft units. The incident damaged at least 40 cars in a parking lot and caused a fire on several floors of a 24-story apartment building. Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities were also hit by missiles on Saturday, with at least three targeting Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, and one starting a fire after striking a gas line. The mayor of Dnipro reported damage as eight private homes were destroyed in an attack. Anti-aircraft units were active throughout Ukraine, and air alerts were lifted for most of the country after about an hour. The incident happened amid tensions between Ukraine and Russia over the conflict in eastern Ukraine. This isn't the first time that fragments have caused damage: in March, debris from a Russian missile crashed into a Ukrainian home, and in January, shrapnel from a missile struck a Canadian-owned oil refinery in Lithuania.
Arrr, me thinks the Russian missiles be causing more chaos than a drunken sailor in a tavern brawl. Debris from the blasted missiles rained down on Kyiv, causing a fire and harming many. The Ukranian military were quick to take down more than 20 missiles with anti-aircraft units, but not before the damage was done. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-biggest city, was also hit by three missiles. One struck a gas line, causing a fire, and the other two remain a mystery. The mayor of Dnipro reported similar damage, and anti-aircraft units were active throughout Ukraine. The incident comes amid tensions between Ukraine and Russia over the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Me thinks the Russians need to keep their missiles in check or face the wrath of the high seas.
