Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) reports that at least 13 people were killed in a Russian attack on Ukraine overnight. The previous toll, reported earlier this morning, stood at six killed in Kryvyi Rih. The specific location of the latest casualties was not disclosed.
The death toll from the overnight Russian aerial assault on Ukraine has risen to at least 13, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) on Thursday morning. The updated figure follows an earlier report from The Zioneer at 06:02 Jerusalem, which documented six fatalities, including children, in the central city of Kryvyi Rih. The specific location of the additional casualties reported in the latest update was not disclosed.
The Zioneer's initial coverage of the attack began at 06:02 Jerusalem, first citing a report from ynet that a Russian missile struck a house in central Ukraine, killing six, including two children. Within minutes, The Zioneer confirmed the location as Kryvyi Rih and reported that Poland had scrambled fighter jets to the border area as a precautionary measure. The source of the latest casualty figure, N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, is the same reporter who provided earlier updates, lending continuity to the reporting.
The attack is part of a sustained Russian air campaign that has included large-scale missile and drone barrages across Ukraine in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, a massive overnight assault on Kyiv killed at least 13 people and was described as the largest-ever combined barrage on the capital. On July 2, the death toll from another large-scale aerial assault rose to at least 25, according to reports reviewed by The Zioneer.
The location of the additional seven fatalities reported in the latest update remains unspecified. The overall death toll may rise further as search and rescue operations continue.
