A series of blasts were heard in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Monday morning, Reuters reported. Regional authorities in northern, eastern and central Ukraine also reported missile strikes although reason for the blasts in Kyiv was not known. Smoke could be seen rising above Kyiv after about 10 explosions, Reuters reported.
The strikes knocked out electricity and water in parts of Kyiv, the mayor of the Ukrainian capital said.
“An area of Kyiv is without electricity and certain areas without water following Russian strikes,” Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram as per news agency AFP.
Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv, said the city has been struck by two missiles which targeted “a critical infrastructure facility”.
Russia has stepped up missile attacks in recent weeks after blaming Ukraine for the explosion which damaged the Crimea bridge.
The barrage of missiles come two days after Russia accused Ukraine of a drone attack off the coast of Crimea. Russia also announced that it is halting its participation in a UN-brokered deal to allow safe passage of ships carrying grain from Ukraine.
