From the BBC:

Posted at 2:38
Kyiv blasts follow overnight strikes in south

This morning's rare blasts in the capital Kyiv follow further strikes overnight in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia and in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
"A multi-storey residential building was destroyed again. There are victims," posted Zaporizhzhia regional governor Oleksandr Starukh on the Telegram messaging app at around 03:00 local time (01:00 BST).
Emergency services attended the scene, he added. Zaporizhzhia has been hit repeatedly in recent weeks, with dozens of people killed.
Meanwhile, it was a "night of massive attacks" in Dnipropetrovsk, according to an update from the region's own governor Valentyn Reznichenko, who accuses Russia of shelling multiple regions.
Moscow has not yet commented on the blasts reported across Ukraine this morning.
