A series of explosions rocked Kyiv early Tuesday signaling the end of Russia's three-day ceasefire.

Kyiv authorities said air defenses were activated and urged residents to seek shelter after reporting a missile attack.

Buildings were hit in Kyiv and the cities of Boryspil and Fastiv, according to official reports.

"A fire broke out in garages and cars in the Podilskyi district.

The threat continues. We urge you to take shelter," Kyiv"s Military Administration posted on Telegram.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a pause in strikes to coincide with a visit to Moscow and Kyiv by US President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Russian President Vladimir Putin then made a similar announcement to facilitate the talks as the envoys traveled to Kyiv.
