Kyiv and Odesa Under Attack: Casualties and Damage Reported After Russian Missile and Drone Strikes On June 9th, 2025, Russia launched a barrage of missiles and drones, targeting Kyiv and Odesa, Ukraine. The attack resulted in at least one fatality and seven injuries. A significant amount of damage has been reported across both cities. In Kyiv, the aftermath was marked by widespread plumes of smoke, as described by the reporter Joey Contino. The Kyiv mayor's statement confirmed that several cars caught fire, and drone debris landed near schools. This adds to the existing tensions and anxieties within the city. The situation in Odesa was equally dire. According to Contino, "a residential building was set on fire by one of the drones," and an emergency medical station was "completely destroyed." While the situation remains tense, the video also highlights moments of resilience among the citizens. The attack on Odesa also targeted a maternity hospital, although thankfully no injuries were reported there. The attack comes after a massive barrage of almost 500 air targets the previous night. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed. The situation underscores the ongoing conflict and the devastating impact on civilian life. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and providing support to Ukraine.
