Massive Russian attack damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and Mystetskyi Arsenal in Kyiv

Rescuers work on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral of 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 five fatalities and 28 injuries, including children and a pregnant woman. At least 140,000 consumers are 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.
