Explosions heard in Kharkiv after Zelenskyy visit

Several explosions have been heard in Kharkiv hours after a visit by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was making his first trip outside of the Kyiv region since the start of Russia’s sp. operation.

A large plume of dark smoke could be seen rising northeast of the city centre.

Kharkiv has been subjected to Russian shelling in recent days after several weeks of relative quiet.
