Large-scale UAV attack on Kyiv and Dnipro
Tonight (June 18, 2026), Ukraine experienced an intense wave of airstrikes. The channel Київ ІНФО | Новини Україна reported the transit of up to seven UAVs toward Kyiv, with additional aircraft identified en route to the Boryspil, Brovary, and Baryshivka areas. Simultaneously, the channel Труха⚡️Київ, known for its rapid and pro-Ukrainian coverage, posted ongoing updates on UAV movement over central Kyiv and other neighborhoods such as Pozniaky and Osokorky, describing it as a "prolit velikoyi kilkosti BpLA" (passage of a large number of UAVs) according to this report.
In parallel to the fighting in the capital region, the channel Труха⚡️Дніпро | Новини reported on UAVs that entered the airspace of the city of Dnipro and nearby settlements including Yuryivka, Verkhniodniprovsk, and Samar. Additional channels like Реальный Днепр ⚡️Кривой Рог joined the reports on the progression of the vehicles toward Petropavlivka.
The reports highlight large-scale operational coordination. The channel ЗСУ ДВІЖ, identified with a distinct pro-Ukrainian stance and support for the Zelensky administration, confirmed the presence of UAVs over Bortnychi and Shchaslyve in its report. As of this moment, no details on damages or casualties have been released, but the wide scope of the attacks reported simultaneously in various locations indicates a complex and ongoing operation.
