Seven people were killed in a Russian strike on Kyiv, according to ynet. The updated toll follows an earlier report of at least four fatalities from the same attack.
The death toll from a Russian strike on Kyiv has risen to seven, according to ynet. The updated figure follows an earlier report by The Zioneer at 02:27 Jerusalem that at least four people were killed and over a dozen wounded in the same barrage. The attack, which struck the Ukrainian capital earlier today, marks the latest escalation in the ongoing Russian aerial campaign against the city.
At 02:27 Jerusalem, The Zioneer's Intelligence Desk reported that the strike involved a combination of ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles, including Iskander, Kalibr, and Zircon types. Initial casualty reports from Israeli news outlet N12 at the same time indicated three killed and five wounded. The Zioneer subsequently updated the toll to at least four killed and over a dozen wounded, and now the figure has risen to seven, with rescue operations reportedly ongoing.
The Zioneer has extensively covered Russian aerial campaigns against Kyiv. On August 20, a massive combined assault with over 50 missiles and drones killed at least 12 people. On July 2, a strike killed at least 13. The current attack is part of this sustained pattern of strikes targeting the capital's infrastructure and civilian areas.
No further details on the specific munitions used or the precise targets hit in this latest strike have been confirmed. Casualty figures may continue to change as rescue and recovery efforts proceed.
