Ukrainian emergency services say five people were killed in the Russian attack on the Kyiv television tower.

It's unclear whether the tower itself was hit - it remains standing, but the blast took some broadcasts off air.

BBC Monitoring understands that five more people were injured in the missile strike.

But the 380-metre (1,250ft) TV tower is still standing.

Ukraine's foreign ministry said Russia was barbaric for attacking a TV tower near a memorial site that commemorates the victims of Babyn Yar.

Babyn Yar was one of the biggest single massacres of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust.

The site contains a a cluster of memorials to remember those who died, including a separate one for the children.

On twitter, the foreign ministry said "Russian troops fired on the TV tower, near the Memorial complex #BabynYar".

It added: "Russian criminals do not stop at anything in their barbarism. Russia = barbarian."

Ukraine's president has aired his frustration on Twitter over the missile strike on the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Centre in Kyiv.

It is built on Europe's largest mass grave of the Holocaust, where Nazi death squads killed more than 33,000 Jewish people in the space of just two days in 1941.

Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted on Tuesday, saying: "What is the point of saying 'never again' for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least five killed. History repeating."
