Massive drone attacks: Kyiv and Odessa again in the crosshairs!

Kiew, Ukraine - On June 10, 2025, there was a new massive attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev, which demanded at least one dead and several injuries. These attacks, which were carried out by Russian drones and rockets, also took place in the port city of Odessa, where one person died and three more were hospitalized. Mayor Hennadij Truchanow confirmed the injuries during the attack, while in Kiev there were also reports on wounded.

reports by [Vol.at] (https://www.vol.at/erneut-massiver-angraschauf- ukrainische-Hauptstadt-kiew/9464048) According to Kiev explosive noises and strong aircraft fire, while the Ukrainian air force reported to the use of ballistic rockets. In Kiev, damage was documented in six out of ten districts, including burning cars and building fires, as is recorded on the pages of the Kyiv.

drone attacks and effects

This latest attack is not the first of its kind. The day before, the Russian armed forces had carried out the biggest drone attack since the beginning of the war, in which almost 500 Shahed drones were used. Here, too, several people were injured. In the course of this, the Russian civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia temporarily stopped air traffic at four large Moscow airports to counter the threat of the Ukrainian drones.

Meanwhile, drones have become a crucial weapon in this conflict. ZDF today emphasizes that Ukraine has achieved a high launch of over 90 percent in Russian Shahed drones. In order to minimize the threat from such attacks, Ukraine has developed acoustic detection systems and trained special soldiers who can shoot FPV drones with shotguns. These drones operate from a safe distance and could help to alleviate the existing recruitment problem of Ukraine.

technical developments and challenges

In addition, Ukraine has greatly accelerated the innovation cycle of its drone technology. The first Ukrainian Marine Rohne has already fired two Russian helicopters, which underlines the relevance of these technologies in the course of the war. Russia, on the other hand, varies the flight heights and speeds of its Shahed drones and uses so -called "Decys" to deceive the Ukrainian air defenders. Russia is also experimenting with Starlink antennas and SIM cards to control its drones.

The persistent conflicts in the region have forced Ukraine to constantly improve their strategies. The development of advanced disruptive techniques against enemy radio connections is only an example of the adaptability that is necessary to successfully pass in this modern war.
