Several explosions are reported in Kyiv shortly after midnight on Thursday, after a Ukrainian air force alert warns that several ballistic missiles are approaching. An AFP journalist in Kyiv reports hearing the blasts. The reports describe the incident as missile strikes targeting the capital, but do not provide specific details on damage or casualties in the available accounts. The timing of the attack coincides with a visit to Ukraine by the European Union’s chief, according to the NDTV report. While the two outlets describe the same sequence—an air-raid-style alert, followed by explosions in Kyiv—neither provides further verified information on the number of missiles, which locations were hit, or the outcome of any missile interceptions. Both accounts rely on reporting from an AFP journalist and the Ukrainian air force alert, and they present the event as ongoing or newly occurring at the time of publication.
