More than 10 explosions thundered in Kyiv on the night of Saturday, May 20, as eyewitnesses told.

The city has an air defense system, the Telegram channel “Kyiv. The main thing” with reference to the administration of the Ukrainian capital. An air raid alert has also been issued.

Earlier on Saturday night, an air raid alert was announced in other regions of Ukraine. Sirens sounded in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions. There were no official comments on the incident.

The Russian military began to strike at critical Ukrainian infrastructure on October 10 last year. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted at the time, this was a response to the terrorist actions of the Kyiv regime, in particular on the Crimean bridge.

The special military operation to protect the population of Donbass, the beginning of which was announced by the President of Russia on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region.
