Russia launched a large-scale overnight missile and drone attack across Ukraine on the night of July 29-30, killing at least eight people, including two children, and injuring at least 30 others in strikes that hit Kyiv, Lviv, Kryvyi Rih and Poltava Oblast.
The attacks came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow appeared to be preparing another massive aerial assault. Air raid alerts were issued nationwide as Ukraine's Air Force tracked ballistic and cruise missiles, along with hundreds of drones, targeting multiple regions from the country's center to its western border.
In Kyiv, a Russian missile strike killed one person and injured two others. According to Ukrainian authorities, a 31-year-old man died after a fire broke out at a garage cooperative in the city's Sviatoshynskyi district. Firefighters discovered his body while extinguishing the blaze. The two injured men, aged 30 and 53, were taken to the hospital.
Fires also erupted at a local market in Kyiv's Obolon district after falling debris struck the area, injuring another person. Residential buildings, warehouses, vehicles, market stalls and other civilian infrastructure were damaged across the capital as emergency crews, bomb disposal specialists and police continued working at the affected sites.
