“Several explosions in the city. Don’t leave the shelters,” writes Vitaly Klitschko, leader of the military in Kiev Telegram.

The anti-aircraft defense is activated, but falling debris is said to have caused several fires.

An explosion also occurred in the Shevtchenskivskyi residential area.

“There was smoke coming from an apartment, but it turned out not to be related to bombs and explosions. The reason was domestic – burnt food on the stove. That also happens,” writes Klitschko. (TT)

An Indian civil servant has been suspended from work after draining a dam of several million liters of water in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, reports the BBC.

The man had dropped his mobile phone in the water after taking a selfie on Sunday. When divers failed to find the phone, he ordered the pond to be drained.

He believed that the mobile phone contained sensitive information, but when it was found, the phone was so water damaged that it did not work.

The drainage came to an abrupt end when another official from the Water Resources Department arrived at the scene.

The deputy party leader of India’s opposition BJP criticized the man in a tweet.

“He has emptied a dam that could have irrigated 607 hectares of land”

Fighting between police and rebels in Indian Manipur continues.
