Massive Russian attack damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kyiv
A firefighter works on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, which caught fire during a Russian military operation in Kyiv, Ukraine, on June 15, 2026. The Russian army conducts a large-scale operation on the Ukrainian capital involving missiles and 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.
