Russia pummelled ​Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with ⁠ballistic missiles early on Saturday (july 11, 2026), injuring at least six ‌people, officials said.

A Reuters witness heard a ‌series of powerful ‌explosions in the city before ⁠the air alert was announced.

The attack damaged a non-residential ​building in ‌one district, while smoke was coming from another and an office building was ‌in flames as a ​result of the strike, the city military ⁠administration said on the Telegram messaging app.

A transformer ‌substation was on fire as well, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko, while windows were blown out in some residential ‌buildings.

Russia has stepped up attacks ​in the capital in recent weeks. So far ⁠this month, strikes on ⁠Kyiv and the surrounding region have killed ‌more than 60 people.
