Explosions’ have been reported across Ukraine as Russia orders special operation in Ukraine. Speaking from a rooftop in central Kyiv, reporter Mathew Chance said he heard “four or five explosions” erupt in the city, which shook the buildings.
“I can’t explain what they are.” Blasts were also reportedly heard in Kharkiv, some 400km (250 miles) east of Kiev.

The report came moments after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation on behalf of the newly recognized breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, where a military conflict has raged between separatist forces and the Ukrainian government for years.
