Russian missiles hit the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site in Kyiv in an air strike apparently targeting a television broadcasting tower near the center of the Ukrainian capital. Ukrainian authorities said five people were killed during the attack on March 1. The site is Europe’s largest mass grave for victims of the Holocaust.

According to the Babyn Yar Center’s website, Nazi forces killed between 70,000 and 100,000 people between 1941 and 1943, including almost the entire population of Kyiv. The non-governmental memorial center is developing a new Holocaust museum complex, scheduled to open in 2025-26.
