Evidence: Explosions rock Kyiv as Russia launches ballistic missiles at the capital and other regions across Ukraine, Explosions heard in Ukraine’s Kyiv, Reuters witness says

Kyiv Independent journalists and a Reuters witness independently reported explosions in Kyiv during a Russian missile-and-drone attack. Kyiv authorities reported debris in a residential courtyard and said damage was being clarified. The sources separately report injuries in Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih; those locations and casualty reports are not folded into this Kyiv event.
