lefigaro.fr (French) —

A series of about ten powerful explosions struck Kyiv early Thursday during a missile alert, setting off car alarms, according to AFP journalists on site. The blasts follow a wave of Russian strikes on Wednesday that killed at least seven people in Ukraine and sparked fires in the capital. Kyiv, home to roughly three million, has faced intense drone attacks for days amid escalating long-range strikes from both sides. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned the UN Security Council on Wednesday that Moscow would make "no pause" in its war against Ukraine.
