Russian forces launched a massive strike with attack drones on the Kyiv region overnight on June 10. The air raid alert has been ongoing for more than five hours, states Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.

“The enemy’s massive air attack on the Kyiv region using drones and missiles is ongoing. The alert has now lasted for over five hours,” he reported.

Kalashnyk noted that the aftermath of the night’s Russian drone strike has been recorded in at least four districts across the region:

  • Fastiv;
  • Brovary;
  • Boryspil;
  • Obukhiv districts.

The enemy is targeting peaceful residential areas. Preliminary reports indicate damage to homes and vehicle fires.

“More detailed information will follow. I urge all residents to stay in safe places until the danger passes. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones,” Kalashnyk added.
