The night of June 15 became a time of heightened anxiety for Kyiv. Powerful explosions were heard in the capital of Ukraine, signaling a new wave of aggression. Russian occupiers attempted to attack the city using unmanned aerial vehicles, while air defense (PVO) forces remain on full combat alert.

### Attack Escalation from the Evening

According to the Ukrainian publication RBK-Ukraine, attempts to strike the capital began as early as the evening of June 14. Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov, reported that air defense systems and interceptor drones are successfully repelling these attacks. However, the situation in the sky over Ukraine continued to deteriorate.

According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the number of drones heading towards Kyiv increased significantly on the night of June 15. Furthermore, monitoring channels recorded alarming signals: the enemy launched strategic bombers Tu-95MS and Tu-160 into the air. Preliminary data suggests that missile launches may have been carried out from the decks of these aircraft, creating a real threat of ballistic weapon use.

### Explosions and Air Defense Operations

The first reports of explosions in Kyiv came around 01:00 AM. The Mayor of the capital, Vitali Klitschko, confirmed information about audible explosions. The Kyiv City Military Administration (KGVA) reported that air defense forces are actively operating in the city, intercepting enemy targets.

The Head of the KGVA, Tymur Tkachenko, warned residents that there is a threat of a combined strike this night, which implies the simultaneous use of various types of weaponry.

### Consequences of the Attack

As a result of debris from shot-down drones falling in the Obolon district of Kyiv, fires broke out. According to eyewitnesses and emergency services, cars caught fire in the area where the debris fell. The situation at the scene of the incident is under control by rescuers.
