“Stay in shelters”: explosions in Kiev
An air alert was triggered in the Ukrainian capital Kiev late on Monday evening. International news agencies reported from the center of Kiev that loud explosions could be heard over the city.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko declared in the online service Telegram that the air defense systems had been activated. "Stay in the shelters!"
Five powerful explosions
An AFP reporter heard five powerful explosions in the east of the city. Reuters also reported detonations. A short time later, the military administration in the Ukrainian capital stated that "Kiev and its suburbs were once again the target of rocket attacks by the enemy". However, almost all of these had been successfully intercepted. There was only one hit - in the town of Browary, north-east of Kiev (see tweet below).
The Ukrainian air force also spoke of Shahed kamikaze drones that had set course for Kiev. These were reportedly completely neutralized. Kiev is repeatedly the target of Russian airstrikes. Russia launched its war of aggression against the neighboring country at the end of February 2022.
