Video: así fue el ataque de fuerzas rusas que destruyó una torre de televisión en una de las principales ciudades de Ucrania
Las fuerzas rusas atacaron este lunes una infraestructura de televisión de la ciudad de Járkov, en el noreste de Ucrania, provocando cortes en retransmisiones de televisión digital, según ha informado la Administración Militar de la región.
Los ocupantes atacaron una infraestructura de televisión en Járkov, escribió en su cuenta de Telegram el jefe de la Administración Militar regional, Oleg Siniegúbov.
El ataque no provocó muertes ni heridos, ya que los trabajadores de la infraestructura se habían guarecido en el refugio al activarse la alerta aérea.
En este momento hay una interrupción de la señal de la televisión digital, explicó Siniegúbov sin ofrecer más detalles.
Ante el corte de la señal provocado por el ataque, el funcionario ucraniano pidió a los ciudadanos que confíen sólo en informaciones de fuentes oficiales.
Vídeos que circulan por redes sociales muestran el impacto de un proyectil en un repetidor, que queda partido en dos antes de que caiga al suelo la parte superior.
Una decena de canales ucranianos de televisión por satélite suspendieron sus emisiones la semana pasada al sufrir interferencias en su señal. Algunos de estos canales fueron jaqueados y emitieron material propagandístico prorruso hasta que sus propietarios pudieron recuperar el control.

Death toll climbs to 116 in religious gathering stampede in India
Thousands of people at a religious gathering in India rushed to leave a makeshift tent, setting off a stampede Tuesday that killed more than 100 and left scores injured, officials said.
It was not immediately clear what triggered the panic following an event with a Hindu guru known locally as Bhole Baba. Local news reports cited authorities who said heat and suffocation in the tent could have been a factor. Video of the aftermath showed the structure appeared to have collapsed.
At least 116 people died, most of them women and children, said Prashant Kumar, the director-general of police in northern India’s state of Uttar Pradesh, where the stampede occurred.
AT LEAST 60 DEAD AFTER STAMPEDE AT RELIGIOUS GATHERING IN NORTHERN INDIA
More than 80 others were injured and admitted to hospitals, senior police officer Shalabh Mathur said.
«People started falling one upon another, one upon another. Those who were crushed died. People there pulled them out,» witness Shakuntala Devi told the Press Trust of India news agency.
Relatives wailed in distress as bodies of the dead, placed on stretchers and covered in white sheets, lined the grounds of a local hospital. A bus that arrived there carried more victims, whose bodies were lying on the seats inside.
Deadly stampedes are relatively common around Indian religious festivals, where large crowds gather in small areas with shoddy infrastructure and few safety measures.
Police officer Rajesh Singh said there was likely overcrowding at the event in a village in Hathras district about 220 miles southwest of the state capital, Lucknow.
Initial reports said organizers had permission to host about 5,000 people, but more than 15,000 came for the event by the Hindu preacher, who used to be a police officer in the state before he left his job to give religious sermons. He has led other such gatherings over the last two decades.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered condolences to the families of the dead and said the federal government was working with state authorities to ensure the injured received help.
Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, called the stampede «heart-wrenching» in a post on X. He said authorities were investigating.
«Look what happened and how many people have lost their lives. Will anyone be accountable?» Rajesh Kumar Jha, a member of parliament, told reporters. He said the stampede was a failure by the state and federal governments to manage large crowds, adding that «people will keep on dying» if authorities do not take safety protocols seriously enough.
In 2013, pilgrims visiting a temple for a popular Hindu festival in central Madhya Pradesh state trampled each other amid fears that a bridge would collapse. At least 115 were crushed to death or died in the river.
