Massive Russian attack damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kyiv
Smoke rises from behind the Gate Church of the Trinity at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, Ukraine, on June 15, 2026. The Russian military conducts a large-scale operation on the Ukrainian capital involving missiles and strike drones, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to 28 others, including children and a pregnant woman. At least 140,000 consumers are left without electricity due to damage to power grids. Residential buildings, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the Mystetskyi Arsenal Museum Complex, the Dovzhenko Film Studio, and the building of the High Anti-Corruption Court sustain damage.
