Details: Residents of the capital heard explosions, followed by an air-raid warning.

The Air Force and local authorities reported a missile threat in the capital.

As of now, an air-raid warning is issued (except for Crimea and Luhansk Oblast) only in Kyiv and Odesa oblasts.

Update: Later, Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said that air defence systems were operating near Kyiv, so explosions were heard in the city.

Yurii Ihnat, the Air Force spokesman, said that the morning explosions in Kyiv were the air defence’s response to Russia's ballistic missile attack.
