The death toll from the Russian strike on Kyiv has risen to 37, the regional governor confirmed, according to a report from Israeli news outlet N12. The updated figure marks a significant increase from earlier reports and comes as search and rescue operations continue in the aftermath of the attack. No further details on the timing or specific locations of the latest casualties have been provided.
Earlier on Saturday, The Zioneer reported that an overnight Russian attack on the outskirts of Kyiv had killed 27 people and wounded dozens. Subsequent reporting, also at 11:45 Jerusalem time, specified that the strike occurred in the Bucha suburb and appeared to have hit an ammunition storage compound. The death toll has now risen by 10 as rescue crews continue to sift through the rubble.
The Zioneer has extensively covered Russian aerial campaigns against Ukrainian cities in recent months. On August 5, a combined barrage of approximately 30 missiles and 115 drones killed 17 people in Kyiv, according to a statement by President Zelensky cited by Abu Ali Express. On August 1, 25 ballistic missiles struck the capital in under an hour, killing 9, as reported by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service and Israeli media.
The source of the latest confirmed fatalities remains attributed to the regional governor via N12, with no official Ukrainian government statement released at this time. The specific locations of the new casualties and the full scope of damage have not been independently verified.
