A combined Russian attack with drones and missiles on Kyiv overnight killed nine people, according to Ukrainian reports. The attack comes amid an ongoing aerial campaign against the capital and other Ukrainian cities.
A combined Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv overnight killed at least nine people, according to initial Ukrainian reports cited by Israeli media. The strike is the latest in a series of aerial assaults on the capital this morning, following an earlier missile barrage that was first reported by The Zioneer at 03:29 Jerusalem. That initial report, based on Israeli media, described a missile strike that trapped civilians under rubble. By 03:29, N12 confirmed three people killed in a strike on a residential building. The new attack, reported at 05:46, raises the death toll for the capital to at least 12 in a single morning.
The thread began with a single unverified report of Iskander missile impacts in Kyiv at 03:29. That was shortly followed by multiple Israeli news outlets (i24NEWS, N12) reporting a damaged residential building with trapped occupants. The death toll from the first strike was confirmed at three by N12, cited in The Zioneer's 03:29 and 05:46 bulletins. The overnight attack now adds nine fatalities, with the overall casualty figure likely to rise as rescue operations continue, according to Ukrainian reports.
As The Zioneer previously reported (Thu Jul 2), a Russian overnight attack elsewhere in Ukraine killed at least 25 people. The broader aerial campaign against Ukrainian cities has included strikes on Kharkiv and Kyiv, with a June 15 bulletin reporting at least eight killed across both cities. The current attacks underscore the sustained nature of Russia's campaign against urban centers.
The full scope of damage across Kyiv from the latest strikes remains unconfirmed. Casualty figures may rise as search and rescue operations proceed, and no official statement from Ukrainian authorities has been received at this time.
