Ukraine’s capital Kyiv came under air attack on Saturday and big explosions were heard, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said, but there was no immediate information on whether there were any casualties.
It was the first attack on Kyiv since late September.
Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app, referring to the left bank of the river Dnipro, “Strong explosions were heard on in the left bank of the capital.”
“Preliminary, air defense was working against ballistic (missiles).”
Air alerts for Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and a nearby region were announced just minutes before the explosions were heard. City authorities urged residents to stay in shelters.
