On the night from June 9 to June 10, Kyiv was once again struck by Russian aggression
According to preliminary reports, Russian forces launched a combined attack, involving missile and drone strikes, targeting strategic facilities and the city’s infrastructure. As a result of this attack on the capital, a fatality has been confirmed — a woman was killed in the Obolon district, according to official sources. As Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko explained in his Telegram channel, the tragedy occurred during this night attack. “Today’s attack on Kyiv claimed the life of a woman in the Obolon district. This is yet another irreplaceable blow to our residents, who are already accustomed to danger but are forced each time to fight for their lives,” he stated. The city's mayor added that the number of injured from the morning incidents has increased to six. According to him, two of them, seriously wounded, are hospitalized in medical facilities in the city, while the remaining four received outpatient care and have already returned home. “We are doing everything possible to provide professional aid to the injured and ensure their safety during these difficult times,” he emphasized. According to Ukrainian defense sources, Russian troops used a mix of missile systems and drones to carry out this attack. Kyiv’s operational and force structures have already activated emergency services to respond to the consequences of the shelling, evacuating people from destroyed and damaged objects. The situation is currently under control, but experts warn that the threat of missile and drone strikes remains high. Local authorities call on residents to follow safety regulations, stay calm, and monitor official information. This night attack once again confirms that Kyiv remains a primary target for Russian forces, who continue to deliberately try to weaken Ukrainian defenses and undermine the peaceful life of the city’s residents. Despite all challenges, the Ukrainian people maintain resilience and an unwavering spirit of resistance, opposing an aggression that has continued since the early days of the war. Local authorities strongly urge unity and mutual assistance during this difficult time for the country, while Ukrainian defenders continue to hold the line to prevent further escalation of violence. Russia’s terrorist tactics aimed at intimidating and destroying cities are condemned worldwide; however, Ukrainians remain steadfast in their fight for independence and freedom.
