Targets of Kyiv explosions still unknown
Powerful explosions were heard in the capital Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
At least four major explosions around 03:00 local time lit up the night sky in Kyiv and were captured by witnesses on video.
It is unclear what the targets of the attack were, or how many people may have been hurt or injured.
The explosions came hours after a massive blast near Kyiv’s central train station shook the city. It happened very close to where hundreds of evacuees are sheltering from Russian shelling.
An adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry said damage to infrastructure was caused by the falling wreckage of a missile after it had been intercepted by air defense systems.
A major heating pipeline was damaged, the official added. There were no casualties, Kyiv’s mayor said.
