The sounds of explosions were reported in both Kyiv and the central-southern city of Dnipro overnight on May 26, the Suspilne news outlet said on its Telegram channel.

The Kyiv City Military Administration reported on Telegram that air defenses were at work over the capital and the surrounding Kyiv Oblast.

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov did not mention any explosions, but wrote on Telegram, "Do not film or post (any photos or videos)."
