BBC Breakfast host interrupts live broadcast to deliver heartbreaking news

BBC Breakfast was disrupted on Sunday morning when Ben Boulos delivered some shocking news to viewers.

A breaking news alert appeared on screen as Ben provided an urgent update. He stated: "Ukraine's Prime Minister has confirmed that the Cabinet building in Kyiv was hit in a huge wave of Russian drone attacks this morning.

"It is the first time the building has been hit. Our Eastern Europe correspondent, Sarah Rainsford, is in Kyiv and joins us now. How significant is it that the building has been hit for the first time?"

Sarah connected via video link from Kyiv, where she described the scene: "As you can see, this street behind me here, and the fire engines, the firefighters all the way up that street there," reports the Express.

"This is essentially the official heart of Kyiv, where all the administrative buildings are and the government buildings.

"The parliament is just up the hill, the presidential palace just a little further away, and this is the first time that the cabinet ministers' building, the government building, any government building, has been hit in the capital Kyiv."

Sarah went on to emphasise just how "significant" this development was.

She explained: "The Prime Minister has talked about the top floors of that building being on fire. We've seen pictures this morning, around about six o'clock, we saw a massive plume of smoke just here coming up from that building.

"It's being described as a drone strike. But at the same time, we saw two cruise missiles flying very close to where we were, extremely fast across the heart of Kyiv.

"This was a massive aerial attack by Russia on Ukraine, the biggest yet, more than 800 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles fired in combination against Ukraine."
