Authorities said the dead children, according to preliminary information, were aged 5-6 and 12-13 years.

The head of Kiev's military administration, Serhiy Popko, said the Russians likely used ballistic missiles during the June 1, 2023 attack on Kiev that killed two children. All detected targets were shot down by air defense means.

"The first day of summer. Children's Day. And the Raški carry out another attack on the capital and kill again! Ukrainian children are being killed.

In this attack, the aggressor probably uses ground-based operational-tactical missile systems. Therefore, the missiles on Kiev did not come from aircraft. In advance, these were cruise and ballistic missiles (the number and type of weapons will be finally determined by the Air Force).
