An explosion rang out over central Ukraine's capital less than one hour into 2023, and the mayor said the air defence system was "working" to defend the city from Russian strikes.
"Explosion heard in the capital. Air defence is working," Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram after the blast which occurred at around 12:35 a.m. local time.
