In the early hours of Friday morning (6 June), Russia launched a missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing at least four people and injuring 20 others, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Fires broke out in multiple districts, including a high-rise apartment building in the Solomyanskyi district. The city's metro system and railway lines were also damaged, causing service disruptions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had warned of retaliation after Ukraine’s drone strike on Russian air bases earlier this week, a message conveyed via U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (5 June).
