KYIV: An AFP reporter heard several explosions in Ukraine’s capital early Sunday as Kyiv’s authorities warned of incoming ballistic missiles. Russia has increasingly been using long-range missiles in its grinding war against Ukraine, which has responded by carrying out drone strikes deep inside Russian territory in recent weeks. “Air raid alert in Kyiv due to the ballistic missile threat,” the capital’s military administration said on Telegram, urging people to head to shelters at around 2:00 am (2300 GMT).
