Explosions are being reported in Kyiv on Monday morning, with Ukrainian officials saying drones supplied to Russia from Iran have hit several targets, including the headquarters of Ukraine's national energy utility.
So far, no deaths or injuries have been reported. Ukrainian soldiers stationed at checkpoints across the city are firing at the drones, The New York Times says, and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko shared on the Telegram app that several residential buildings in the Shevchenkivskiy area have been damaged.
