A photo provided by the Ukrainian President’s office appears to show an explosion in the country’s capital, Kyiv, early Thursday morning.
CNN teams in Kyiv have been hearing explosions near the capital since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his military operation in Ukraine.
CNN also heard air sirens sounding for several minutes in Kyiv around 7 a.m. local time (12 a.m. ET), which could be heard across the city. CNN teams did not see or hear incoming fire.
