Charred walls, splintered floors: Inside Ukraine’s government headquarters after a devastating Russian attack

"Russian forces hit the Cabinet of Ministers with an Iskander missile, damaging the
headquarters of the country's executive authority, engulfing its upper floors in flame.
"The fire spread quickly," said Andrii Danyk, head of
Ukraine's State Emergency Service, standing in front of the building's scorched walls.
The 5-meter-wide hole in what used to be the wall overlooked a roughly 3-meter-wide hole in what used to be a floor in a spacious cabinet home to one of the government departments.
Katarina Mathernova,
EU ambassador to Ukraine, said that the entire building "was not reduced to rubble" only thanks to the missile failing to detonate.
According to Defense Express, a Kyiv-based defense consulting agency, the fire was caused by fuel leakage from the missile's tanks." KI
