The Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been hit by drones again, killing two people and wounding 13, and the entire city is in flames, writes the BBC.
Authorities report that the remains of the drones hit the roof of a residential building. A video can be found on social networks, showing how the Ukrainian air defense system repels the attack. The army has also warned of a possible ballistic missile attack.
It was previously reported that on the night of Tuesday, the 8th of July, Ukraine experienced its heaviest airstrikes to date – Russia launched 728 drones and 13 missiles.
In the early morning of the 10th of July, Ukrainian authorities reported that drones hit six neighborhoods of Kyiv, and flames engulfed residential buildings, vehicles, warehouses, office buildings and other places. A clinic in the Podilsky district of Kyiv was completely destroyed. Residents of the city were urged to go to shelters, and later, when returning home, to keep their windows closed, as the city was covered in smoke.
There is currently no information about casualties in other regions of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the United States has decided to resume arms supplies to Ukraine. US President Donald Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. “We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice to us all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” Trump told reporters on the 8th of July.
To this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that Moscow takes these statements calmly, because Trump simply sometimes uses harsh rhetoric.
