Russian strikes on Kyiv
On the night of June 17, Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv using Shahed kamikaze drones.
Russian debris was recorded falling in several districts of Kyiv, causing damage to residential buildings, non-residential structures, and cars.
Residential buildings, non-residential buildings, and vehicles were damaged. The upper floors of a multi-storey building were hit.
As a result of the Russian attack, some areas lost power supply - Mayor Vitali Klitschko said it was due to the activation of the automatic protection system. The death of a US citizen has also been confirmed.
