Air raid sirens sounded just before the explosions, which took place around 6.35am and 6.45am local time. Shortly after news got to safety in a garage, the first explosions were heard. Kyiv’s mayor Vitaly Klitschko writes on Telegram that the explosions hit the Shevchenko district in the center of the city. This is the same district that was hit by massive Russian attacks on 10 October. At least 19 people are said to have been killed and 105 injured. Journalists from AFP have also heard explosions in Kyiv in the morning hours on Monday. It is unclear exactly how many explosions hit the Ukrainian capital on Monday morning, but news has been told that it is about three. The explosions are said to have hit around 3-4 kilometers from where news is located in Kyiv. The bomb shelters in the city are now visited by people who were on their way to work. In the past, residents of Kyiv have not taken the air sirens as seriously as there have been many months of calm, but after the attack last Monday and calls from the authorities today, the shelters are filling up. Firefighters are at the scene of the attacks.
