Russia launches deadly barrage on Kiev region on eve of NATO summi
Russia struck Ukraine's Kiev region with ballistic missiles on July 6, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens, authorities said, on the eve of a NATO summit in Türkiye.
"Nine deaths and 46 wounded have now been confirmed as a result of the Russian attack (including five wounded children)," Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital's military administration, posted on Telegram. "Sadly, this is not the final toll. Rescue operations are still ongoing."
One fatality was recorded in the Bucha district, northwest of Kiev, earlier in the morning.
The assault was the second on the capital and its surroundings in less than a week and came as both sides increased long-range attacks, underlining the growing reach of the war more than four years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
