June 10, 2025 Kyiv comes under massive Russian drone attack
Kyiv came under a large-scale drone assault for the second consecutive day overnight on Tuesday, with explosions and gunfire echoing across the city as air defenses engaged incoming drones, Ukrainian authorities said.
"Stay in shelters! The massive attack on the capital continues," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko posted on Telegram.
Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration said on the Telegram that Russian "drones are simultaneously attacking several districts of the city."
Emergency services responded to at least four districts after midnight.
Witnesses, including journalists from the French AFP and Reuters news agencies, reported hearing dozens of blasts and gunfire.
Several residential buildings and cars were damaged, and debris fell near a school. No casualties were immediately reported.
The strikes come just a day after Russia launched its largest drone barrage of the war, in what Moscow claims is in retaliation for recent Ukrainian attacks inside Russia.
The Ukrainian military urged people to seek bomb shelters, saying that the strikes were still ongoing.
