In the early hours of Monday, Russia launched eight ballistic missiles at Kyiv, according to a report in the Associated Press. The report added that all eight missiles were intercepted by Ukraine's Air Force averting a potential disaster. Despite the foiled bid of attack, one person was injured by shrapnel and three others experienced severe stress reactions, the AP report quoted officials saying. 

Explosions echoed through Kyivi at around 4 am on Monday and it set off air raid sirens despite the city's nightly curfew. The AP report quoted Interior Minister Ihor Klymenjo stating that the debris of an intercepted missile fell without ignition in the eastern Darnytskyi district while the explosive wave damaged the windows of a house elsewhere.
