At least ten people were killed and dozens wounded after Russian ballistic missiles struck the Kyiv region on July 6, 2026, the second attack on the capital and its surroundings within a week, authorities said, on the eve of a NATO summit in Turkey.

The strikes occurred as both Ukraine and Russia have intensified long‑range attacks since the full‑scale invasion began in 2022, indicating an expanding reach of the conflict.

Rescue teams worked at the site of a damaged building in Kyiv, where emergency services reported multiple casualties. Ukrainian officials said the missiles were launched from territories under Russian control, though Russia did not comment on the attack. The assault follows a series of missile and drone strikes on Kyiv earlier in the week, including a strike on a residential area that caused civilian injuries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, calling it a violation of international law, while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg noted that the timing coincides with the upcoming summit and reaffirmed the alliance’s support for Ukraine.

The incident underscores the continuing intensity of the war as diplomatic efforts prepare for a high‑level meeting among NATO members.
