In the early hours of June 15, Kyiv experienced a renewed wave of attacks, resulting in significant power outages across the city. According to Kyiv’s Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, over 140,000 residents are currently without electricity due to damage to power lines.
Klitschko reported that the northern part of the capital was particularly hard hit, with extensive damage to the electrical infrastructure. “The enemy’s attack has led to the disruption of power supply for many households,” he stated.
The assault began the previous evening, with Russian forces launching drones toward the city. However, the situation escalated overnight as multiple ballistic missiles were fired, causing loud explosions that reverberated throughout Kyiv.
Emergency services are responding to the situation, with reports of fires breaking out in various locations, including a significant blaze at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a historic monastery complex.
As the city grapples with the aftermath of the attack, further updates on the situation and its consequences are expected to emerge in the coming hours.
