Russian helicopters on Thursday attacked Antonov Interntional Airport, in Hostomel, near the capital of Kyiv, and took control.
Ukrainian officials said three of the helicopters were downed, but the Interior Ministry reportedly confirmed that Russia managed to seize control.
Ukrainian border officials said that the Russian military was trying to penetrate into Ukraine's Kyiv region and its Zhytomyr region on the Belarusian border and that Russia was using Grad rocket systems.
