The mayor of Kyiv on Monday urged the city’s residents to remain in shelters following a suspected rocket or missile attack on the Ukrainian capital.
“The air raid alert, and therefore the threat, continues,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram.
“I appeal to all residents of the capital: stay in shelters during the alarm. If there is no urgent need, it is better not to go to the city today.”
Klitschko confirmed strikes hit the Shevchenkivskyi and Solomianskyi districts of Kyiv.
Earlier, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister said the red line of Kyiv’s metro system is being used as a bomb shelter.
At least four explosions have been heard by CNN teams in Kyiv on Monday. A playground is among the sites hit, according to Ukrainian officials.
