Multiple powerful explosions were heard in Ukraine’s capital, according to a Reuters witness cited by First Squawk. The report did not specify the number of blasts, their locations or whether air defenses were active. The event matters because Kyiv remains the political and military nerve center of Ukraine, and strikes there can shift sentiment across regional markets. Traders will watch for official casualty and damage assessments, confirmation of the weapon types used, and any response from Ukraine’s allies.
