Kyiv experiences explosions amid ballistic missile threat
Kyiv reported explosions and a ballistic missile threat on June 25. This follows Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, a rising death toll in Kryvyi Rih, and ongoing combat at the Kinburn Spit.
Kyiv experienced explosions on the evening of June 25, with Ukraine's Air Force reporting a ballistic missile threat and air defense systems actively engaging targets. This comes as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Ukrainian forces targeted two oil refineries in Ufa, Bashkortostan, and an oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar region on June 25, describing these as "consistent precise responses." Meanwhile, the death toll from Russia's June 23 missile strike on Kryvyi Rih has risen to five after a 23-year-old man succumbed to severe injuries. The Ukrainian Naval Forces continue to report the Kinburn Spit as an active combat zone, maintaining its strategic significance for Russian forces. President Zelenskyy also approved a 40-day influence operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) aimed at encouraging Russia to end the conflict.
