    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.
