Explosions are heard in the capital of Ukraine, and emergency teams are sent there.

There were three explosions in the center of Kyiv, and Ukraine said it had shot down several Shahed drones made in Iran.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that Ukraine's air defenses had shot down 10 Shahed drones and that emergency workers had been sent to the central Shevchenkivskyi district.

He added on his Telegram channel, "Details will come later." It was not possible to check Klitschko's claim on our own.

A Ukrainian politician named Oleksiy Goncharenko wrote on Twitter that he had heard three explosions by 6:30am local time (04:30 GMT).

At 5:55 a.m. (03:55 GMT), the air-raid alarm went off, and people were told to stay in shelters until the all-clear.

Goncharenko wrote, "Ukrainians don't wake up to alarm clocks, but to explosions." "Thanks to Russia, which is close by! "Guten Morgen!"

Oleksiy Kuleba, the governor of Kyiv Oblast, said that air defense systems were turned on and "hitting targets."

The explosions happened as Ukraine asked its allies to give it more advanced air defense systems to help it shoot down Russian missiles and drones that have destroyed the country's energy infrastructure and left millions without heat in the bitter cold of winter.

Zelenskyy said that the capital Kyiv and the Kyiv region, as well as four regions in western Ukraine and the Dnipropetrovsk region in the middle of the country, were also having "very difficult" power problems.

On Tuesday, it was said that the US was putting the finishing touches on plans to send Ukraine its high-tech Patriot air defense system.
