Russia launches missile attack on Kyiv.

In the early hours of June 2nd, Russia launched a large-scale air attack targeting several Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv, using missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Ukrainian officials said at least six people were killed and 46 injured nationwide.

According to local officials, the city of Dnipro suffered the most damage, with many residential buildings hit by missiles and drones. Dnipropetrovsk region governor Oleksandr Hanzha said at least five people were killed and 16 injured.

In the city of Kharkiv, several districts were attacked by a barrage of drones and missiles. Mayor Ihor Terekhov said apartment buildings, vehicles, and administrative buildings were damaged. At least 10 people were injured in the incident.

According to the Kyiv Independent, the first explosions in Kyiv were recorded at around 1:30 a.m. local time, just before the air raid sirens sounded. Subsequent explosions occurred at around 2:15 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., accompanied by power outages in some areas.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that many residential areas lost power while the city was under attack.

Kyiv military officials said that in the Podilskyi district, several cars caught fire after being hit by missile debris. In another location, debris fell onto the roof of a building, causing a fire and shattering windows.

Klitschko said a nine-story building in the Podilskyi district was severely damaged after the double attack, causing part of the structure to collapse. Authorities fear there may still be people trapped under the rubble.

In the Solomianskyi district, 15-story and 24-story apartment buildings were also damaged. Several other fires broke out at gas stations in the Darnytskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts, a commercial building in the Svyatoshynskyi district, and another business establishment in the Shevchenkivskyi district.

Russia's intensified air campaign comes amid ongoing diplomatic stalemates. Ukraine recently announced it had recaptured most areas of the Dnipropetrovsk province previously controlled by Russia following counterattacks in March.
