Overview

• The assault killed at least 16 people and wounded 159, with 14 children among the injured—the highest number of child casualties in a single Kyiv strike since Russia’s 2022 invasion
• Ukraine’s air force reported that it intercepted and jammed 288 strike drones and three cruise missiles out of 317 launched, but five missiles and 21 drones still struck targets
• At least 27 sites across Solomyanskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Shevchenkivskyi and Holosiivskyi districts were hit, damaging over 100 buildings and causing part of a nine-storey residential block to collapse
• Rescue teams and city authorities have removed hundreds of tons of debris, repaired thousands of broken windows and are providing financial and temporary housing aid to affected residents
• Russia’s claim to have seized full control of Chasiv Yar remains disputed by Ukrainian officials as frontline clashes persist and the U.S. maintains an August 8 deadline for a ceasefire agreement
