There were explosions again in Kyiv region: an enemy drone wounded a man and caused significant destruction
On the night of June 16, the Kyiv region once again became the target of an aggressive attack by Russian occupiers. According to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, the armed forces of the aggressor country used drones (UAVs) aimed at striking civilian objects and infrastructure. As a result of these hostilities, a civilian was wounded and private property suffered serious damage. According to reports from Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv OVA, during this nighttime attack a 60-year-old man was injured, receiving lacerations to his arms and face. Fortunately, his life is not in danger; he received necessary medical assistance and is currently under medical supervision. In addition to human casualties, the attack damaged the owner’s private house and nearby outbuildings. The official stated that this attack was one of numerous provocations aimed at destabilizing the situation in the region. The strike hit civilian infrastructure targets, once again demonstrating the cynicism of the enemy, who deliberately seeks to destroy homes and endanger the lives of ordinary citizens. The head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration emphasized the need to strengthen security measures and called on residents to be extremely cautious and to follow anti-epidemic recommendations during alarms. He also expressed confidence in the ability of defense forces to effectively counter shelling and protect civilians. Currently, law enforcement and military personnel are working on locating and neutralizing the enemy drones, and air defense reserves in the region have been reinforced. It is expected that the government and local authorities will take all necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future and to restore the damaged facilities. This nighttime attack once again highlights the unstable situation in the region and the necessity of preparing for any scenarios. Populated areas of Kyiv region remain on the front lines of the fight for safety and the integrity of Ukrainian territory, while Ukrainian defenders continue to bravely stand in defense of the country against Russian aggression.
