 Kyiv, Ukraine, May 24 (AFP) May 24, 2026
 A new series of loud blasts were heard in Kyiv early on Sunday morning, an AFP journalist said, as the Ukrainian capital came under a ballistic missile attack from Russia.

A few hours earlier, loud explosions shook the city and Ukrainian authorities ordered residents to take shelter, after Moscow threatened retaliation for strikes in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine.
