Over 600 Evacuated After Ongoing Explosions Near Kyiv

Secondary explosions that continued for hours after Russia’s overnight attack on the town of Vyshneve outside Kyiv have ceased, while more than 600 residents have been evacuated from the danger zone, Kyiv region emergency services spokesperson Viktoriia Ruban said on July 6.

Ruban said the detonations had stopped, allowing rescuers to continue working at the site

Local authorities announced voluntary evacuation points for those wishing to leave the area, advising evacuees to bring identification documents, drinking water, medication and other essential belongings.

The evacuation follows one of Russia’s latest overnight attacks on the Kyiv region, which left multiple people injured and caused significant damage.

Authorities warned residents to stay away from the affected area, where repeated explosions have continued for hours since the attack, posing an ongoing threat to civilians and emergency responders.

Police have cordoned off the site as bomb disposal and rescue teams work to eliminate the danger.

The Vyshneve Territorial Community also urged residents not to leave their homes or travel to work, while several streets remained under emergency restrictions due to the risk of further blasts.

Residents reported hearing loud explosions throughout the morning, with some saying the shockwaves were strong enough to shake apartment buildings.

According to regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk, at least 15 people were injured across the Kyiv region in the overnight Russian attack, including a nine-month-old girl. Eleven of the victims were hospitalized, while officials warned the casualty toll could still rise as rescue operations continue.

Early on Monday, Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, killing at least 11 people and injuring at least 60 others, including three children, as missiles struck residential buildings across the capital, Ukrainian officials said.

The head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA), Timur Tkachenko, said emergency crews were responding to more than 20 impact sites across the city.

“The most difficult situation is in the Darnytskyi and Podilskyi districts, where the Russians directly hit residential high-rise buildings,” Tkachenko wrote on Telegram.

In the Podilskyi district, a residential building was partially destroyed between the seventh and ninth floors, leaving people trapped under the rubble. Another 21-story apartment building suffered structural damage between the third and fourth floors after being struck by debris.
