Sirens across Ukraine as authorities report Russian attacks

[ad_1]
KYIV: Ukrainian officials said Thursday that Russia has launched a wave of missile and self-exploding drone attacks on the country.
Air raid sirens wailed nationwide, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or of the missiles and drones striking targets.
The head of the Kyiv city administration said that 15 cruise missiles were shot down.
Serhii Popko said the missiles were fired “in the direction of Kyiv” but did not clarify if the capital itself was a target. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said explosions were heard in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district, on the east side of the river that divides the city.
The attacks came after Germany and the United States announced Wednesday that they will send advanced battle tanks to Ukraine, offering what one expert called an “armored punching force” to help Kyiv break combat stalemates as the Russian invasion enters its 12th month.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Municipal authorities in Hyderabad are gearing up to demolish six-storeyed commercial building which was gutted in a huge fire last week while rescue workers have still not found any remains of two missing persons.
Nearly a week after the fire incident, the rescue workers continued to look for remains of the missing persons in the huge rubble.
Skeletal remains of one person were found on January 21 and the same were preserved at Gandhi Hospital for DNA analysis.
Three workers Waseem, Zaheer and Junaid were reported missing after a huge fire broke out in the building. Some survivors said the three persons had gone to collect their belongings but were trapped.
A massive fire broke out on January 19 in the building housing the garment store at Nallagutta on Minister Road in Secunderabad.
Two fire service officers were injured while trying to douse the fire, which raged for almost two days.
After the fire, the building’s structural strength has been severely compromised. With experts advising for demolishing the building, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has initiated the process.
The municipal body has called for bids to pull down the building. It issued a tender notice on an emergency basis with Wednesday as the deadline to submit the bids.

GHMC wants the interested party to use the latest technology in pulling down the structure to avoid collateral damage to adjoining structures. The tender value has been fixed at Rs 33.86 lakh for demolition of 1,890 square metres structure, transport of debris and exercise of safety precautions.
According to officials, GHMC will charge the owner with the cost of demolition. The owner had constructed two upper floors without permission and no firefighting equipment was installed inside.

Kupwara, Jan 18 (GNS): Braving extreme chill amid prevailing inclement weather, people in Safawali village of Jumagund in Kupwara on early Wednesday morning had no other option than to put a male patient on a stretcher to ferry it a hospital at Zurhama as the road connecting the areas, as per locals, continues to remain shut due to accumulated snow.
A group of locals told GNS that a 42-year-old person, Irshad Ahmad Raina son of Farooq Ahmad Raina, developed abdominal pain the previous night. “The patient was given medication, but he didn’t show any signs of relief, following which it was decided to evacuate him to a hospital at Zurhama, which is some 25 kilometres from here”, they said. “As the road is yet to be cleared of the accumulated snow, the patient had to be put on a stretcher”, they claimed.
Deputy Sarpanch Jumagund, seconding the claims of locals, told GNS that “even as the persons ferrying him (patient) started their journey at around 5 in the morning, they were however yet to reach their destination.”
“We not only fear for the safety of the patient but for those ferrying him alike as the weather is very cold”, he said.
The deputy village-head in the meantime alleged that the interior roads are also yet to be cleared of the accumulated snow.
“We urge the authorities to clear the roads as soon as possible to alleviate our sufferings”, he said.
When contacted, Deputy Commissioner Kupwara Doifode Sagar Dattaray told GNS that there have been frequent avalanche warnings amid prevailing weather conditions. “With the (avalanche) warnings being high, we don’t want to act in haste as it may put the precious lives on stake”, he said. (GNS)
