In the early hours of June 10, Kyiv faced one of the largest Russian attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion. During the strikes, patrol police officers provided assistance to people, according to the head of the Patrol Police Department, Oleksii Biloshytskyi.
"The enemy attack lasted for more than five hours. Risking their own lives, patrol officers and rescuers remained alongside city residents the entire time. We evacuated people to safe locations, helped extinguish fires, and ensured access for emergency vehicles," the statement said.
Biloshytskyi published bodycam footage from patrol officers who were on site in one of the capital's districts. The video captures the first minutes of the attack on Kyiv.
The video shows two strikes by Shahed-type kamikaze drones. The distinctive buzzing of the drones, explosions, and bright flashes after the hits are clearly audible and visible. During the attack, patrol officers urged pedestrians to take immediate shelter.
Unfortunately, one woman was killed, and others were injured. The residential buildings, non-residential premises, and cars were damaged.
