Mysterious "earthquake" shakes Ukraine after loud explosions.
Overnight on November 10, residents of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia and Dnipropetrovsk reported houses shaking and loud banging that sounded like explosions or an earthquake, according to Ukrainian media citing local Telegram channels.
The strongest tremors were felt in Vinnytsia, where residents said they woke up to shaking buildings and frightened and crying children. Some claimed that doors opened by themselves and plaster fell from the ceilings.
Explosions were heard in Zhytomyr before the quake began. Loud explosions were also reported in the Kyiv region, although no airstrike warning was issued. Explosions also hit Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava, where local authorities said a UAV struck an energy facility, cutting off electricity and water.
No seismological service recorded an earthquake in Ukraine, and the authorities offered no explanation.
