Kyiv: Residents of Kyiv woke up to air raid sirens on Monday after an “air attack” on the city. The “air attack” in the early morning comes after a New Year assault by Russia that saw Kyiv and other cities under fire from missiles and Iranian-made drones.
The warning from Kyiv’s military administration came just after 1 am local time (2300 GMT), according to reports.
The city’s military administration head, Serhiy Popko, called for people to “stay in shelters”.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported an explosion in Kyiv’s northeastern Desnyanskyi district and said “emergency services are on their way”.
“An injured 19-year-old man was hospitalised in the Desnyanskyi district of the capital,” he said around 1:20 am.
The air attack triggered the Kyiv region air defence system, said Oleksii Kuleba, the head of Kyiv region’s military administration.
