KYIV, May 8 (Reuters) - Russia launched an air attack on Kyiv and the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, Ukraine's military said on Wednesday, with air defence systems engaged in repelling the attack.

Reuters' witnesses in Kyiv also reported hearing blasts, which sounded like air defence systems hitting air objects. (Reporting by Pavel Polityuk and Gleb Garanich in Kyiv; Editing by Himani Sarkar)
