Residents in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv awoke to the sound of explosions this morning, with multiple blasts heard booming through the city.

Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's staff, said on Telegram the city had been hit by kamikaze drones, but details remain limited at this stage.

Air raid sirens sounded shortly before the blasts, which occurred between 6.35am and 7am local time on Monday, with witnesses reporting three blasts.

It comes as the Shevchenkivsky district was hit by several explosions a week earlier, on October 10.
