Kyiv, March 7 : There have been reports of renewed Russian shelling in Ukraine’s southern port city of Mykolaiv. City officials have yet to comment on the reports, but BBC quoted a local “News-N” media outlet saying the shelling began at around 5 am (local time). A video posted by New York Times reporter Michael Schwirtz also showed the night sky lit up with explosions. Schwirtz tweeted that the shelling appears to be concentrated on the eastern outskirts of the city. “Russian forces appear to have launched a heavy artillery barrage against Mykolaiv, a day after Ukrainian troops pushed them from the city and recaptured the airport. From my vantage, I could see flashes from the attack lighting up the night sky along a large swath of the city,” he said. The renewed assault comes a day after Ukrainian forces repelled a Russian attack on the city of 476,100 people and recaptured the local airport, the BBC reported. ING
