Well, I have to say that those reports are not confirmed, but are worrying for Ukraine. There's an American company called Baxa that supplies satellite imagery.

numerous cars damaged. One's got a UK sticker on it, the other one's on British number plates. The local authorities say that the number of wounded is more than 30, including a 13-year-old girl and a young man aged 17. It's a scene of total devastation.
