On the night of 5–6 July, Russian occupation forces launched yet another large-scale combined attack on the Ukrainian capital. The enemy deployed several types of weaponry simultaneously, including attack drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Extensive damage has been reported in Kyiv.

"As of 5.20 am, the number of injured stands at 24.
Meanwhile, rescue workers have recovered two more bodies from the rubble. This brings the death toll to seven," said Tkachenko.
