Deadly Russian Strike on Vyshneve Leaves Multiple Fatalities and Dozens Wounded

Assault on Vyshneve

According to Главком: In the early hours of July 6, Russian forces launched an attack on the town of Vyshneve in the Kyiv region, resulting in casualties and widespread destruction. The bombardment destroyed residential buildings and vehicles. One local resident lost his home entirely. He survived because he and his two dogs were sheltering in a cellar during the strike. That cellar was the only part of the property left intact, while nothing remained of the house above except the door and some structural elements.

Aftermath of the Shelling

The attack also destroyed a rare vintage car-a Moskvich-401 from the mid-1950s. Blogger Anhelina Pinchuk reported: 'The owner told me it was a restored Moskvich-401, produced in the mid-1950s. It was parked here; Moscow burned the Moskvich.' Nearby, a bicycle lies crushed under debris, its wheels charred and the frame completely ruined. Neighboring houses are in similar condition, with some still smoldering.

The strike triggered a massive fire at warehouse facilities. According to Mykola Kalashnyk, three people were killed, and 26 others were injured. Among the wounded are two children: a nine-month-old infant and a 12-year-old. Eighteen individuals have been hospitalized, three of whom are in serious condition. Doctors are fighting for their lives and providing all necessary care, Kalashnyk stated: 'As of now, three people have died from the Russian strike. We know of 26 injured, including two children-a nine-month-old baby and a 12-year-old. Eighteen people have been hospitalized, three are in serious condition.'
