A Russian ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv wounded three people and caused damage in several districts, according to local officials reported by N12. The attack follows a barrage of eight ballistic missiles reported earlier today.
A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv wounded three people, according to local officials cited by N12 at 06:51 Jerusalem time on Saturday. The report is the latest in a sequence of developments this morning, following an earlier barrage of eight ballistic missiles reported at 04:40 and a separate report at 05:54 of six wounded in a strike on the capital — though that report did not specify the weapon type.
Initial reports Saturday morning, all published at 03:51 Jerusalem, documented a missile attack on Kyiv with at least five explosions, followed by the specification of eight ballistic missiles, and then a report of six wounded. The record of events was refined over the next two hours: at 04:40, The Zioneer cited a report of eight ballistic missiles striking Kyiv, and at 05:54, a bulletin on the same thread noted six wounded without specifying the type of weapon. The current update at 06:51 adds a third casualty figure, attributed to local officials, and identifies the attack as a ballistic missile strike.
As The Zioneer reported on June 15, Russian strikes on Kharkiv and Kyiv have killed at least eight people, underscoring the ongoing threat to Ukrainian cities. The broader context of the current attack remains consistent with patterns of Russian missile barrages targeting the capital.
The full scope of casualties and damage from this morning's attack remains unclear; local authorities continue to assess the situation. It is not yet known whether any of the missiles were intercepted or whether additional strikes are expected.
