AFP journalists in Kyiv heard a series of blasts starting at around 4 a.m., shortly after an air raid alert was issued, with the air force later widening the alert warning nationwide citing the threat of missiles.

"The enemy is attacking the capital with ballistic weapons," the head of Kyiv's military administration Tymur Tkachenko said on Telegram, urging people to remain in shelters.
