Ukrainian TV and Radio channels were taken out Tuesday after Russian airstrikes targeted Kyiv’s central TV broadcasting antenna killing five people and wounding five others.
The country’s Ministry of Defense said that backup broadcast would be available online but that the process may take some time.
In the meanwhile, Ukrainians were asked to be aware of Russian counterfeit broadcasts that are likely to emerge and spread disinformation about the situation in Ukraine.
“The enemy can spread fakes to destabilize the situation,” officials added.
Following the horrific explosion of the tower, all of Ukraine’s television stations stopped broadcasting. The site is adjacent to Kyiv’s Holocaust memorial, Babi Yar, that was also targeted by a “powerful missile attack” that remains underway.
