In a statement, Yermak blamed Russia for the incident, saying, "The Russians think it will benefit them, but these measures look like desperation," CNN said.
Digital Desk: Ukraine's capital city Kyiv was rocked by multiple explosions early on Monday in an attack by "Kamikaze" drones, a Ukrainian official said.
According to Ukraine's president's office head, Andriy Yermak, kamikaze drones are hitting the city.
In a statement, Yermak blamed Russia for the incident, saying, "The Russians think it will benefit them, but these measures look like desperation," CNN said.
The attack resulted in damage to several residential structures.
Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram message that a "fire in a non-residential structure" was brought on by the "drone strike."
According to Kyiv, Moscow employed drones provided by Iran in recent attacks on Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and other Ukrainian cities. Kyiv called on Western nations to increase their support in the face of the new threat.
According to CNN, there were at least three explosions heard in the Ukrainian capital on Monday at about 6:45 a.m. local time as a consequence of what seemed to be Russian strikes.
The Shevchenkivskyi neighbourhood in the heart of the Ukrainian capital witnessed one of the explosions. Emergency services have been dispatched to the scene in order to handle the situation.
After a truck recently exploded on the Crimea road bridge, setting seven fuel tanks of a train travelling to the Crimean Peninsula on fire, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further intensified. The explosion, which also caused two of the road bridge's spans to partially collapse, claimed the lives of three persons.
Four years after Moscow occupied Crimea, President Vladimir Putin officially opened the Crimean Bridge in 2018. It was built to connect the peninsula to Russia's transportation system.
The 19-kilometer bridge, which spans the Kerch Strait and links Crimea with Russia's mainland, is made up of portions for cars and trains. In 2020, it was completely functional.
The bridge, which has two parallel lanes for cars and trains, may be available to trains by 8 p.m. Moscow time (1700 GMT) on Saturday, according to earlier statements from the transport ministry.
