Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Russia was increasing its attacks across the front line, as Kiev called for the West to boost weapons supplies ahead of winter.

Neither side has made any significant territorial gain for months, but both Zelensky and the Kremlin have denied the conflict has ground to a stalemate.

Kyiv urged Western allies on Thursday to hurry up and supply tanks and air defense systems, saying Ukraine was paying in lives for the slow pace of discussions in foreign capitals.

"We have no time, the world does not have this time," said Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.

According to the first information, three powerful explosions caused by drones, most likely of Iranian production, were heard first. The explosions were heard consecutively around 6:35, 6:45 and 6:58 local time.
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitalii Klitschko, announced around 7:30 a.m. that Kyiv had been attacked again.
