The city’s military administration said warehouses in a central district were ablaze. One person was reported injured.
The air raid alert was in effect for about 40 minutes before officials declared the all clear.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said medical personnel had been dispatched to a central district.
Reuters witnesses reported explosions in the city.
Russian forces also deployed missiles and bombs in an attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. He said two people were injured and several buildings had been damaged.
