Indian Embassy advises citizens and students to leave Ukraine at the earliest

India on Wednesday issued an advisory to all its citizens to avoid traveling to Ukraine. The advisory also advised students and Indian nationals to leave Ukraine at the earliest, citing the "deteriorating security situation" in Ukraine. This advisory has been published by the Indian Embassy in Ukraine on its Twitter handle.

"In view of the deteriorating security situation, Indian nationals are advised not to travel to Ukraine," the Indian Embassy in Ukraine said in an advisory posted on its Twitter handle.

Several explosions were heard in Kyiv on Monday morning. It was later reported that targeted attacks against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure were carried out using Iranian-made drones.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said at least five people were killed in Russia's attacks on the Ukrainian capital. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that 30 percent of Ukraine's power stations have been destroyed by Russian attacks, leaving no room for talks with the "Putin administration".
