So the air alarms went off a little before 8 o'clock last night.
We started hearing air defenses firing around 9 or 10.
It's a bit of a rat-tat-tat sound.
And then we heard one very, very big boom.
That was the start of a lot of booms over the course of the night.
The Ukrainian authorities were telling everyone to stay in shelters, stay in shelters, because the attack was underway.
We heard a lot of explosions in the center of Kyiv, and this continued for hours and hours.
While we're hearing all this going on, we're always monitoring telegram channels.
And so images started coming out of an apartment building on fire.
And then we heard that the roof of a hotel was on fire and the reports just kept coming in.
Through dawn, we were hearing explosions and emergency workers and rescuers were already responding and rushing to respond to strike sites, even as more booms were being heard.
Finally, at around 7 a.m.,
They lifted the air raid alarm.
So we were under air raid alarm for over 11 hours.
And now there's a lot of smoke over the city this morning and you can smell the strikes in the air at the moment.
It's this very specific smell after a strike.
