American Killed in Deadly Russian Strike on Kyiv
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An American citizen was among at least 16 people killed in a deadly overnight Russian strike on Ukraine's capital, officials said. Russian President Vladimir Putin's military launched 175 drones, 14 cruise missiles and two ballistic missiles against Kyiv and the surrounding area overnight, Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv city military administration, said. It marked Russia's deadliest attack on the city so far this year. Newsweek has reached out to the State Department and the Kremlin for comment by email. Ukrainian rescuers carry a wounded colleague during a search and rescue operation following a Russian missile strike on Kyiv on June 17, 2025.

GENYA SAVILOV/AFP/Getty Images Why It Matters The aerial assault marked the latest of a series of attacks by Russia in recent weeks. Efforts led by Washington to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine are faltering, and both sides have launched large-scale onslaughts, with Russia intensifying nighttime strikes with long-range weapons across Ukraine. What To Know Ihor Klymenko, Ukraine's interior minister, told reporters that a 62-year-old U.S. citizen had died from shrapnel wounds. Earlier, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said on his Telegram channel that a 62-year-old American was found dead in a house opposite where medics were providing assistance to victims of Russia's overnight strike. At least 16 people were killed and 124 others were wounded in the attacks. Speaking from the Group of 7 summit in Canada on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin "is doing this solely because he can afford to keep waging war. He wants the war to go on." In a separate post on X (formerly Twitter), Zelensky said residents were trapped under an apartment building that was partially destroyed in the assault. "Right now in Kyiv, efforts are underway to rescue people from under the rubble of an ordinary residential building—it's still unclear how many remain trapped. The Russians destroyed an entire section of the apartment block. In total, buildings in eight districts of Kyiv have been damaged," the president said. I receive regular reports from Minister of Internal Affairs Klymenko and our military commanders on the aftermath of Russia's massive strike. More than 440 drones and 32 missiles were used. Kyiv has faced one of the most horrific attacks. Also, overnight, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia,… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 17, 2025 What People Are Saying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X: "Such attacks are pure terrorism. The whole world, the United States, and Europe must finally respond as a civilized society responds to terrorists. Putin does this solely because he can afford to continue the war. "He wants the war to go on. It is wrong when the powerful of this world turn a blind eye to it. We are in contact with all partners at every possible level to ensure an appropriate response. It is the terrorists who must feel the pain, not innocent peaceful people." The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) said in a statement: "Last night's attack was the fourth time this month that Russian armed forces launched more than 400 munitions in a single night. By comparison, Russian armed forces launched 544 long-range munitions during the entire month in June 2024." What Happens Next Moscow and Kviv will continue to launch strikes on each other's territory, with few signs of a peace deal in the near future.

US spies said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment.
'I don't care what she said,' Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was 'very close' to having a nuclear bomb. Trump's statement aligned him with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has described a nuclear-armed Iran as an imminent threat, rather than with his own top intelligence adviser. Advertisement The Republican president was expected to meet with national security officials in the Situation Room on Tuesday as he plans next steps. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Trump's contradiction of Gabbard echoed his feuds with U.S. spy leaders during his first term, when he viewed them as part of a 'deep state' that was undermining his agenda. Most notably, he sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018 when asked if Moscow had interfered in the 2016 election, saying Putin was 'extremely strong and powerful in his denial.' The latest break over Iran was striking because Trump has staffed his second administration with loyalists rather than establishment figures. Gabbard, a military veteran and former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, was narrowly confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate because of her scant experience with intelligence or managing sprawling organizations. Advertisement Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and endorsed Trump, is expected to testify Tuesday in a closed session on Capitol Hill, along with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, during a previously scheduled budget hearing. Both officials would likely face questions about their views on Iran and Trump's latest statements. Representatives for Gabbard and the CIA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Gabbard, in her March testimony to lawmakers, said the intelligence community was closely monitoring Iran's nuclear program, noting that its 'enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.' The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly warned that Iran has enough enriched uranium to make several nuclear bombs should it choose to do so. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful. An earlier intelligence report, released in November under then-President Joe Biden, a Democrat, also said Iran 'is not building a nuclear weapon.' However, it said the country has 'undertaken activities that better position it to produce one, if it so chooses,' such as increasing stockpiles of enriched uranium and operating more advanced centrifuges. The report did not include any estimates for a timeline for how quickly a bomb could be built. Trump's immigration agenda is another place where he's split with intelligence assessments. He cited the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime law, to deport Venezuelan migrants, which he justified by claiming that the Tren de Aragua gang was coordinating with the Venezuelan government. However, an intelligence assessment in April found no evidence of that. Gabbard fired the two veteran intelligence officers who led the panel that created the assessment, saying they were terminated because of their opposition to Trump. Advertisement In response to those reports, the White House released a statement from Gabbard supporting the president. 'President Trump took necessary and historic action to safeguard our nation when he deported these violent Tren de Aragua terrorists,' the statement said. 'Now that America is safer without these terrorists in our cities, deep state actors have resorted to using their propaganda arm to attack the President's successful policies.'

US spies said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran's nuclear program earlier this year. The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program. But President Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. 'I don't care what she said,' Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was 'very close' to having a nuclear bomb.
