Second Ukraine TV tower hit; channels off the air

7 March 2022

Reports from Ukraine say that the Russian invasion has targeted a second TV transmission tower. 

The TV tower in Kharkiv is reported to have been hit on Sunday 6 March, taking TV channels off the air. It appears that this is a new tactic by Russia as it attempts to restrict access to information for Ukrainian citizens in the country. 

Standing 240m high, the Kharkiv tower was constructed in 1981 and is believed to carry TV and radio signals to the city and surrounding area.
