Extensive missile attack on Kyiv

During the morning of June 2, 2026, Kyiv experienced an extensive missile attack. According to the Times of Ukraine channel, which shows clear support for the Ukrainian leadership, the city was attacked in several waves of missiles that hit central civilian hubs, including residential neighborhoods, medical centers, and office complexes.

Comprehensive reports from the field describe a direct hit on residential buildings in the Solomianskyi District and the Podil District. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed, as reported in Київ | Times, that "two missiles hit the same building in Podil" and that heavy damage was caused to the upper floors of a 15-story structure in Solomianskyi. In addition, there was a report of a hit on a hospital in Teremky and the "Suchasnyi Kvartal" residential complex.

The reporting channels described an atmosphere of chaos, as thick black smoke covered the city center. Many residents found shelter in subway stations, which were documented as being particularly crowded. Times of Ukraine emphasized the severity of the situation with a report on the "collapse of a high-rise building in Podil" and the presence of people trapped under the rubble, a claim originating from the city's military administration.

After several hours of non-stop alerts, the sources reported that the attack was halted. However, rescue authorities continue scanning the affected areas, including a "ZEEKR" car dealership and the Vasylkivska Street area, which sustained heavy damage. Reports from the Kyiv region emphasize that this is one of the peak moments of aggression toward the city in recent times.
