Explosions were reported in Kyiv, the city’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

Other Ukrainian cities including Kharkiv, Lviv and Odesa were also struck, officials said.

“Today, at five o’clock in the morning, the fascists’ followers hit the peaceful city with S-300 missiles. 10 explosions rang out in Kharkiv. Specialized services quickly arrived at strike spots,” Kharkiv region police said.

Terrifying footage shows a high-rise building in Odesa on fire after being struck by debris from a downed drone.

“As a result of another enemy attack, one of the high-rise buildings was damaged. The fire was promptly extinguished,” mayor Gennady Trukhanov said in a social media post.
