“Several explosions in the province's Darnytsky and Dniprovsky neighbourhoods of the capital,” posted Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko in Telegram on 5 June, adding that rescue workers were on the scene.
Klitschko said that one person was injured but had not been reported to victims.
The cause of the explosions was not specified.
Although air attack sirens are regularly heard in the city, there have been no attacks there in recent weeks since Russia withdrew its forces from the area to focus its military efforts on the eastern region of Donbas and southeastern Ukraine.
Meanwhile, intense fighting continued in the eastern town of Severodonjeck, in the Luhansk region.
Ukrainian forces reported on June 4th that they had recovered parts of the city that had been controlled by Russia.
In the nearby Donetsk region, fierce fighting also continued with several rockets that hit the town of Donjeck at the end of June 4th.
In the southern region of Ukraine, Odesa, a rocket hit an agricultural storage facility, wounding two people on the morning of June 4th, the regional administration's spokesman at the telegram wrote. / REL
