Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles on the evening of June 25
On the evening of June 25, Russian troops launched another attack on Kyiv using ballistic missiles. Explosions were heard in the capital, and air defense forces began engaging enemy targets.
Kyiv once again faced a missile threat that evening. After an air raid alert was issued, residents of the capital were warned of the danger posed by ballistic missiles. Shortly thereafter, explosions were heard in various parts of the city, and air defense systems began operating in the sky. Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported that the enemy had launched ballistic missiles toward the capital. He urged residents not to ignore the air raid sirens and to remain in shelters until an official announcement that the danger had passed.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko also confirmed that air defense forces were active. According to him, the Ukrainian military was engaging aerial targets approaching the city. As of the time of publication, there was no information regarding the possible consequences of the attack, damage, or casualties.
In recent months, the Russian army has regularly used ballistic missiles in strikes against Ukrainian cities. Such missiles pose a particular danger due to their high speed and the short reaction time. That is why, once a ballistic missile alert is issued, people are advised to immediately head to shelters and remain there until the alert is over.
Kyiv remains one of the main targets of Russian attacks. In addition to kamikaze drones and cruise missiles, the occupiers are increasingly using ballistic weapons. To intercept them, Ukraine is deploying modern air defense systems, including Patriot systems, which are capable of shooting down such targets.
Military officials and government representatives are once again emphasizing that even if explosions are not heard nearby, people should not ignore air raid sirens. Experience shows that seeking shelter promptly often saves lives during such attacks. “The enemy is launching ballistic missiles at Kyiv. Take cover,” said Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration. “Air defense forces are engaging the targets,” noted Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Currently, official agencies continue to monitor the situation and gather information on the consequences of the attack. The details may be updated once emergency services and the military have completed their work. This was reported by Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, on Telegram, and by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Telegram.
On the night of June 25, Russia carried out a large-scale air attack on Ukraine, using a ballistic missile and dozens of attack drones. Air defense forces destroyed or intercepted most of the targets, but a missile and several drones were confirmed to have struck their targets.
Starting in the evening of June 24, Russian troops carried out nearly 20 attacks on five districts in the Dnipropetrovsk region, using drones, artillery, and a guided aerial bomb. The shelling caused damage to infrastructure.
On June 25, rescue workers extinguished a fire at an industrial facility in the Poltava region that was caused by a Russian attack. Emergency responders continued their work after the facility was struck by enemy weapons.
