A resident of the area said he heard four loud explosions that rocked the area.

“At first I thought I heard a jet going by, but then I realised it was a missile,” said Serhii, who refused to give his full name. “The explosions were so loud! I consider myself experienced and prepared for attacks like this. But it was way too close and loud. I was frightened, really frightened.”

In the outlying region, authorities warned people to be prepared for a long power outage because of the emergency cuts. Kyiv region Govennor Oleksii Kuleba also said that one person was wounded and a number of houses were damaged as a result of the morning attack.

In the eastern city of Kharkiv, two strikes hit critical infrastructure facilities, according to authorities, and the subway ceased operating. Officials also warned about possible power outages in the city of Zaporizhzhia resulting from the strikes there.

The Lviv region in western Ukraine was also targeted, but the missiles were shot down, Lviv Govenor Maksym Kozytskyy said.
