  "summary": "A series of strong explosions were heard in Kyiv today, as Russia resumed attacks on the Ukrainian capital following a three-day ceasefire pause, according to AFP journalists. The blasts triggered car alarms in the city centre and prompted the Kyiv city military administration to declare an air raid alert. Buildings were hit in Kyiv, as well as in the Boryspil and Fastiv districts, with plumes of smoke and the glow of fire visible. Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the ceasefire earlier in the weekend, during which US President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited both the Russian and Ukrainian capitals.",
