Explosions rang out over the Ukrainian capital, and black smoke could be seen rising from the center of Kyiv, AFP journalists reported on Monday, in a rare day-time aerial attack on the city.

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, said fragments of missiles downed by air defense systems had fallen in two central districts of the capital and that emergency services were responding.
