Violent explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, early Wednesday.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said via Telegram that blasts hit the Shevchenkivsky district in the capital’s center early Wednesday.
Shoot down 10 Iranian drones
While the Ukrainian official did not mention any other details, he confirmed that air defense systems shot down 10 Iranian-made Shahed drones in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The bombing area includes many government agencies.

Western accusations and confessions
Interestingly, the recent bombing is the first of its kind weeks into the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
Western powers have accused Iran for months of supplying Russia with drones that its forces use during attacks, as Moscow uses hundreds of Iranian-made “Shahed-136” drones, but denies using so-called “kamikaze” drones.
Last November, Tehran admitted to sending drones to Russia, but said it supplied them before its military operation in Ukraine began.
