A dozen loud explosions were heard starting at 5:00 a.m. (03:00 GMT), along with anti-aircraft fire.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram that *"rocket debris"* fell in several parts of the capital, including a *"residential building,"* and that *"cars were also on fire."*

The last major Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital took place at the end of January.
