Russian missile attack on Kyiv
According to the Arab News, Ukraine’s presidential office deputy head Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on the social media app Telegram that a missile attack on infrastructure in the capital was underway.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said, “explosions were heard in Dniprovskyi district, left bank of Kyiv.”
It isn’t immediately clear whether the strikes caused the explosions by the air defense systems operating. The Ukrainian capital hasn’t been attacked since New Year’s night.
