Explosions were reported near the southern city of Mykolaiv overnight on May 6, with Mykolaiv Oblast Governor Vitaly Kim saying on Telegram that there had been three incoming aerial attacks around the city.

Around 1 a.m. Kyiv time, Kim said that he would "not write details," but that there had been no emergency calls, adding that "either the air defenses had worked" or the attacks had not caused any casualties.  

The Suspilne news outlet also reported that the sounds of explosions were heard around Mykolaiv just after midnight.
