Two Russian rockets hit communities near Ukraine’s capital Kyiv overnight into Thursday, according to Oleksiy Kuleba, head of Kyiv’s regional state administration.
“At night, the enemy launched a rocket attack on one of the communities of the Vyshhorod district. Two hits were recorded,” Kuleba said.
No injuries or destruction of infrastructure was reported, he added.
Kuleba said an assessment of the areas impacted continues and that other explosions heard by those in the area were from Ukraine’s air defense.
