Video shows massive crater in aftermath of Kyiv blasts

STORY: Several explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and the cities of Lviv, Ternopil and Dnipro on Monday, after Russia accused Ukraine of orchestrating a powerful blast that damaged a key bridge linking Russia and Crimea.

Reuters witness saw a huge carter at one of the city centre's intersections and nearby cars completely wrecked, blackened and pitted with shrapnel.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said there were dead and wounded in the blasts.
