ISTANBUL (AA) – Explosions were reported in multiple regions of Ukraine on Monday amid air raid alerts heard all over the country.

Local authorities took to Telegram to urge residents to move to bomb shelters, while officials in the central Poltava and Kyiv regions said explosions were being heard.

“In Poltava Oblast, air defense is working. Stay in shelters,” Poltava Governor Dmytro Lunin said on Telegram.

Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko also confirmed explosions in the Kyiv region on Telegram.

Meanwhile, Vinnytsia Governor Serhiy Borzov and Mykolaiv Governor Vitaliy Kim reported rockets flying over their respective regions.

No warnings have been reported in the Crimea region, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

Air raid alerts sound in Ukraine almost on a daily basis due to possible missile and drone strikes, which have targeted the country's civilian and energy infrastructure.
