Russian missiles hit at least two districts within the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv early Thursday morning, sparking fires in multiple locations before authorities declared the situation under control, officials reported.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko took to Telegram to share details of the attack, stating that a storage facility in a western suburb of the city had been struck and that debris had come down on the opposite side of the Dnipro River. He confirmed that fires ignited in both affected areas.
Reporters from Reuters on the ground in Kyiv heard multiple explosions ring out across the city during the incident.
After approximately one hour, officials lifted the air alert, signaling that the immediate threat had passed.
