On the night of June 2, 2026, damage to industrial facilities and unfinished buildings was reported following a massive attack by Russian forces on the Obolon district of Kyiv. An unexploded ordnance fell on the grounds of one of the kindergartens. This was reported by “Glavkom,” citing a statement by Kirill Fesik, head of the Obolon District State Administration.
Reassuring residents
The district head reassured residents by explaining the situation regarding the educational facility, which had caused the greatest concern among Kyiv residents. “The information about an enemy shell falling on the grounds of one of the preschools has indeed been confirmed. Fortunately, this was an enemy munition shot down by air defense forces that did not explode,” noted Kyrylo Fesyk.
Next steps and consequences
Explosive ordnance disposal teams are currently working on the kindergarten grounds, and their work will be completed shortly. After that, the consequences of the strike will be addressed, and the facility will be able to resume normal operations as early as tomorrow.
Overall, according to Fesyk, no significant damage has been reported in the residential areas of the Obolon district. The brunt of the impact fell on industrial zones and unfinished construction sites.
