KYIV (Reuters) - Russia launched air strikes overnight on Kyiv, with air defence systems engaged in repelling the attack, Ukrainian authorities said late on Monday.

"Air defence forces are working to eliminate the threat in the skies over Kyiv," Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app.

Reuters witnesses heard explosions in the capital and surrounding region in what sounded like air defence systems in operation.

The attack took place on the eve of talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia that both sides hope will deliver substantial progress towards ending the Russian war in Ukraine.
