hina's Foreign Ministry on Monday called for de-escalation in Ukraine after explosions rocked several cities including Kyiv in apparent Russian revenge strikes following a blast on a bridge linking Crimea to Russia.
"We hope the situation will deescalate soon," ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing.
At least five people were killed and 12 wounded in Russian missile strikes on Kyiv on Monday, police said.
"Most hits were in the centre of the capital," the police said in a statement on its Facebook page. "At present, it is known that 12 were wounded. Five people were killed."
Meanwhile, Ukraine's Defence Ministry said it would seek revenge for Russian missile strikes that hit cities across Ukraine on Monday morning.
"There is sacrifice amongst people and destruction," the ministry said on its Facebook page. "The enemy will be punished for the pain and death brought upon our land! We will get our revenge!"
