One of the explosions was caused by Russian air defense systems in Nikolske, a settlement just northwest of the city, Petro Andriushchenko, an adviser to the city’s Ukrainian mayor, wrote on Telegram.
Smoke can also be seen rising from the side of a railway station in the area, according to Andriushchenko.
