“At least three series of explosions were heard in Ukraine’s capital Kiev”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions 'Explosions struck Kyiv during nationwide air raid', it does not specifically quantify 'at least three series of explosions'. The other evidence provided consists of dictionary definitions of 'least' and general Wikipedia entries about Kyiv, which do not confirm the specific event on May 24.
