Explosions rocked Kyiv early on Thursday as Russia fired a wave of ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s capital. According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, a storage facility was hit in the city’s western suburb. Meanwhile, debris from intercepted missiles rained down on an area on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, Reuters reported.
The Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram that at least eight ballistic missiles were bound for Kyiv and warned of additional missiles approaching Kyiv. Residents were urged to stay under cover as air defence systems activated to counter the threat.
