Ukraine wakes up from air strike sirens, more than 100 rockets strike Kiev and other cities

Ukraine has reported new missile attacks on Thursday morning, while explosions have been heard in several cities.

Authorities have said the blasts come from air defence systems that drop missiles at the entrance.

Presidential office adviser Olexey Arestovych wrote on Facebook that more than 100 rockets were coming, and air attack alarms could be heard across the country.

Blasts were heard in Kiev, Zytomyr and Odessa, according to a Reuters correspondent and local media reports.

Power cuts were announced in the Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions, with the aim of minimising possible damage to energy infrastructure. /Abcnews. al
