There have been alarm signals again on the Kyiv territory, and the war has left its destructive marks in the most unexpected places
During the night of June 23, Russian missiles struck the Ukrainian capital once more, with one of the debris falling directly onto the premises of one of the country's main educational institutions — Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. This unpredictable attack caused a large fire and serious damage to buildings and infrastructure near the sports and educational area in the Solomyanskyi district. According to the national news agency Ukrinform, the situation is extremely tense. Preliminary reports indicate that the debris from the downed Russian missile fell precisely onto the university's swimming pool area. Videos quickly circulated on social media capturing the destruction: a deep explosion accompanied by a dense red cloud of smoke, along with significant damage to the sports complex infrastructure. Currently, numerous firefighters, rescue workers, and investigators are working at the site to assess the extent of the damage and stabilize the situation. Official information states that there were no casualties among civilians in this particular zone, but the scale of the destruction is evident. Overall, this nighttime missile strike marks yet another tragic chapter in this war. Following previous Moscow attacks on Kyiv on Saturday, six people were killed and 19 wounded. The city again found itself under threat, and residents are on high alert, awaiting news of new strikes from the aggressor country. It is worth recalling that the widespread practice of cascading attacks on strategic targets and residential zones has been ongoing for several months, with each session of destruction and human tragedy underscoring the severity of the situation and the urgent need for aid and protection for Ukrainians. In Kyiv, which has long been a target for Russian missile strikes, authorities assure that the situation remains tense, but city officials and rescue services work around the clock to minimize the consequences of potential new attacks and to protect residents. Official agencies call on citizens to stay vigilant, follow recommendations, and exercise caution regarding any alarming messages. Dealing with the destruction when it concerns lives and safety is the main goal of the authorities and all services during this difficult period. The scale of debris and fires once again reminds us of the technical and human losses in this war and the need for international support and unity in the fight for Ukraine's sovereignty and security. Detailed information about the consequences of the night attack is still being clarified, but it is clear that Kyiv will continue to stand at the crossroads of war and recovery, and its residents remain in a state of constant combat readiness.
