Two loud explosions were heard in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on Monday morning.
The French news agency, citing its correspondent in Kiev, said that air raid sirens were also heard a few seconds before the explosions at 6:35 in the morning.
Andrey Yermak, chief of staff of the Ukrainian president, says that "Drone attacks were carried out on Kyiv on Monday morning."
Recall that on February 24, Russia attacked neighboring Ukraine, which it claims as its own, while Ukraine declares itself an independent country.

Last week, Russian President Putin blamed Ukraine for the bombings on the bridge connecting Russia to Crimea and announced revenge.
Since then, the Russian army has repeatedly attacked and fired missiles at different cities of Ukraine.
A few days ago, the Russian army started targeting Kiev again and the latest explosions are also a link in this chain.
Fighting in other areas has intensified since the airstrikes on Kiev.
In addition to Donbass, Donetsk and Luhansk, there have been large-scale exchanges of fire in the southern province of Kherson.
Three of the cities fall in areas that Russia announced it would annex after a referendum last month.
Kiev and Western countries condemned the Russian move as illegal and bullying.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his address on Sunday night that "hard fighting is taking place in Donbass, Solidar and Bakhmut."
Bakhmut has been a Russian target since the capture of the industrial cities of Lysychansk and Severodunsk in June and July, and Solidar is located north of Bakhmut.
Russia's Defense Ministry said on Sunday that its forces blocked the advance of the Ukrainian army in the Donetsk, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions and forced them to retreat.
"Air strikes against Ukrainian military and energy targets will continue."
