KYIV: Russian missiles struck at least two districts in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Thursday, triggering fires before an all-clear was declared, officials said.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko, writing on Telegram, said a storage area was struck in a suburb in the west of the city and debris hit the ground in an area on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River.
He said fires broke out in both areas.
Reuters witnesses heard a series of explosions in the city.
The air alert was lifted after about an hour.
