Terrifying moment BBC reporter in Kyiv ducks for cover as missile flies over his head

The BBC's Kyiv correspondent witnessed a scary moment this morning as he saw a missile fly over his head while reporting on the latest events in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Hugo Bachega was delivering a report of recent explosions in Zaporizhzhia when he heard the sound of the missile flying above him.

Mr Bachega was in the middle of telling BBC Breakfast viewers about blocks of flats that were bombed overnight in south eastern Ukraine when he looked over his shoulder to see the missile. He ducked and quickly took cover as the sound of an explosion rung out.

The BBC feed then immediately cut back to studio presenter Sally Bundock. She told viewers that Mr Bachega was "for obvious reasons taking cover at that point".
