The capital city of Ukraine has been bombed for the first time in months amid the country's invasion by Russia. Multiple explosions rocked Kyiv early on Monday (October 10) following months of relative calm in the city.
Ukrainian emergency services are reporting a number of people were killed and injured in the blasts. Images from the scene show people in the city receiving medical treatment, while a trail of destruction has been left.
Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, reported explosions in the city’s Shevchenkivskyi district - a large area in the centre of the city which includes the historic old town, as well as several government offices. The strikes come a day after Russian president Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of 'terrorism' following the explosion of a bridge linking Russia to occupied Crimea.
