At least two people have been reported injured following a series of explosions in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, as the city’s mayor confirmed air defences were active in response to a missile strike on Friday morning.

Witnesses reported multiple loud blasts across the city, with smoke rising from several areas. The Ukrainian Air Force issued an alert on Telegram, warning of a “ballistic missile from the north.”
