Police remove missile warhead near Kyiv apartment building after Russian attack, officials say

What happened

New Voice Ukraine reports that Kyiv police have confirmed explosive ordnance specialists removed a missile warhead that fell near a residential high-rise in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv on the night of June 28. This followed a Russian missile attack on the city.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The incident illustrates the persistent threat of unexploded remnants of Russian strikes in populated areas, which pose direct danger to civilians and complicate local emergency response efforts.

Darnytskyi district is a residential area of Kyiv, and the presence of a missile warhead so close to an apartment building heightens concerns about civilian safety during such attacks. Ukrainian authorities have been tasked repeatedly with managing the fallout from damaged or unexploded munitions.
