Kiev: Russia has again carried out large-scale missile and drone attacks in the Ukrainian capital Kiev (capital Kiev) at night. Two people died due to fire in many areas of the city in Russian attacks. Ukrainian officials have given information about these attacks. A day before this, Russia also carried out an air strike on Ukraine. This was the biggest air strike so far during the three-year-long war.
‘People were running in the dark’
According to Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kiev regional administration, it was another tense night for Kiev residents, in which many people kept running in the dark to save their lives with children, pets and blankets and at least 22 people were injured. The horrifying sound of drones was heard at night, which were exploding in residential areas and flames were rising in the dark during the 10-hour attack. Officials said Russia fired 397 Shahid drones, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, on Kiev and five other regions.
What did President Zelensky say?
“This is a clear expansion of Russian terror. Hundreds of Shahid drones every night, continuous missile attacks, large-scale attacks on Ukrainian cities,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Telegram post. The United Nations Human Rights Mission in Ukraine said on Thursday that June saw the highest civilian casualties of the war, with 232 people killed and 1,343 injured, while Russia fired 10 times more drones and missiles than in the same month last year.
How many people died?
The United Nations said at least 13,580 civilians, including 716 children, have been killed and more than 34,000 injured since Russia began its massive invasion of its neighbour on February 24, 2022. Two rounds of direct peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations have produced no progress in stopping the fighting. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no date had been set for a possible third round of talks.
