Russia has launched a fresh wave of attacks on Ukraine, striking the capital city of Kyiv in the early hours of Wednesday. Explosions were heard in the city, with multiple blasts occurring around 3:15 a.m. local time, according to the Kyiv Independent. The city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, reported that a strike hit a non-residential area in the Obolon District and warehouse facilities were damaged in the Podil and Polid districts.
The extent of the damage is not immediately clear. A Reuters witness also reported hearing explosions in the city. According to the Business Recorder, buildings and warehouses across Kyiv were damaged in the attack. A separate air strike on the southeastern city of Dnipro damaged an industrial facility, the regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said.
The attacks on Kyiv coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday. Ukraine's Air Force had previously warned of several Russian Tu-95 bombers approaching the border, and an air raid alert was announced in Kyiv, lasting from 9:09 p.m. until 9:58 p.m. local time, before the overnight strikes.
