A Russian attack on Ukraine killed 9 people and wounded 28, according to a report from the Israeli news site ynet. The wounded count has been revised upward from an earlier report of 27.
The Zioneer's latest update: The wounded count from the overnight Russian missile attack on Kyiv has been revised upward to 28, according to ynet. The death toll remains at 9. The specific location of the attack was not disclosed in the latest report.
The Zioneer first reported at 01:57 Jerusalem (Sat) that the mayor of Kyiv confirmed the capital was under a Russian ballistic missile attack, with heavy explosions heard. Shortly after, at 01:57, the mayor reported at least 3 killed and several trapped in a partially collapsed building, with rescue efforts underway. Ukraine's State Emergency Service then reported that the death toll had risen to 9, with 27 wounded, including 4 children, and 105 people rescued from the rubble. The Zioneer published that update at 07:49 Jerusalem. The latest revision to 28 wounded comes from ynet.
The attack is part of an ongoing Russian aerial campaign targeting Ukrainian cities, as The Zioneer has previously reported. Over recent weeks, the desk has tracked multiple large-scale strikes, including attacks on July 2 and July 6 that resulted in similar casualty figures across Kyiv and other regions.
What remains open: The precise location of the attack within Kyiv has not been specified in the latest reports. It is also unclear what prompted the revision of the wounded count. Rescue operations are ongoing.
