As of the morning of October 10, explosions were reported in dozens of regional centers of Ukraine and in Kyiv.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Fox News described this massive rocket shelling of Ukraine as Russia's retaliation for the attack on the Crimean Bridge.[8] However, according to Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, the Russian troops received instructions from the Kremlin to prepare for massive missile strikes on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure on October 2 and 3.[9]
