Sirens sounded across Kyiv shortly after midnight and I heard loud explosions, likely to have been air defences trying to shoot down incoming missiles.
A second air raid alert woke people here around 3am.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city was under Russian ballistic missile attack and medical teams were responding.
A warehouse on the outskirts was on fire and one person was reported hurt.
A children’s hospital was also struck but the patients and staff were sheltering.
