KIVY: Multiple explosions hit the centre of Kyiv-Ukraine’s capital on Monday. The blasts took place at around 8 am local time. Clouds of black smoke could be seen rising from buildings in Videos widely shared on social media.

The serial blasts have been heard on Kiev two days after the blast on the only bridge connecting Russia with Crimea.
The spokesperson for Emergency Service in Kyiv told Associated Press that there are many wounded people. Rescuers are now working in different locations as explosions were also reported in Lyiv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr and Kropyvnytskyi.

Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine for the blast on the bridge.
Three people were killed in the attack on Saturday. The missile attack in Kiev on Monday is believed to be a reaction to this.
