Digital
Desk: A series of explosions were reported in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on
Monday morning. Regional authorities in northern, eastern, and central Ukraine
also reported missile strikes, though the cause of the Kyiv explosions was
unknown, according to Reuters. As per reports, smoke could be seen rising above
Kyiv after about ten explosions.
The
strikes knocked out power and water in parts of Kyiv, according to the mayor of
the Ukrainian capital.
"As
a result of Russian strikes, an area of Kyiv is without electricity and certain
areas are without water," Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram, according to
AFP. Russia has increased missile attacks in recent weeks after accusing
Ukraine of causing the explosion that damaged the Crimea bridge.
The
missile barrage comes just two days after Russia accused Ukraine of carrying
out a drone attack off the coast of Crimea. Russia also announced that it will
withdraw from a UN-brokered agreement to allow ships carrying grain from
Ukraine to pass through safely.
