A strong explosion has occurred in the western part of Kiev. An air alert signal was activated a few minutes before the explosion, “Kiev Independent” notes.
Earlier this week, Ukrainian authorities announced that security would be increased in some parts of the country ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s massive invasion.
Earlier this month, President Zelensky warned that Russia could launch an attack in February to avenge last year’s defeats.
The Spanish Prime Minister arrived in Kyiv this morning to show his country’s solidarity with Ukraine. He did not officially announce his arrival in Ukraine and in all probability did not inform the Russian side about the visit.
Ukrainian sources report that a powerful explosion has occurred on the territory of Odessa. They claim it was airstrikes, while Russian sources say it was a domestic explosion.
At this time, an air alert has been declared in a number of regions of Ukraine. The video supposedly depicts the consequences of the explosion, but if sources report strikes on the territory of the city, then local sources cite information that the explosion that exploded on the territory of Odessa was domestic.
At least three explosions were reported in Kyiv and Kyiv region. Air defense systems are activated.
The reason for the air strike in the Kyiv region was a reconnaissance drone of the Russian Federation. It was successfully shot down by air defense forces, Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat said.
“An ordinary day in a warring country – a reconnaissance drone visited the Kiev area. They successfully operated it, landed it. Then they will look at what kind of UAV it is,” he said.
