Russian drones and missiles struck Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Tuesday, June 17th, destroying an apartment building, residential structures, injuring up to 16 people, city officials said. Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least 14 civilians between June 13-16.

The claim by the General Staff of the Ukrainian armed forces, which came on a holiday celebrating Russia's sovereignty, is in line with Western intelligence estimates.

Russian attacks killed at least ten people across Ukraine, with officials saying that four of the deaths in Kharkiv happened in the most powerful Russian drone strike to hit the eastern city since the start of the war.
