Russia struck Kyiv overnight with dozens of missiles, killing at least four people and wounding over a dozen, The Zioneer reports.
Russia struck Kyiv overnight with dozens of missiles in a large-scale barrage, and The Zioneer now reports at least four people killed and more than a dozen wounded. The updated casualty toll marks an increase from initial reports.
The Zioneer first reported the attack at 02:27 Jerusalem on Tuesday, identifying the use of Zircon hypersonic missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles, and Kalibr cruise missiles launched from south of Kyiv. Shortly afterward, citing Israeli news outlet N12, The Zioneer reported three dead and five wounded. The current figure, based on The Zioneer Intelligence Desk's latest assessment, raises the toll to at least four killed and over twelve wounded.
This attack is the latest in a series of Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital. As The Zioneer reported on August 20, a combined aerial assault with over 50 missiles and drones killed 12 people in Kyiv. The ongoing campaign continues to target residential and civilian infrastructure.
The full extent of damage and specific hit locations remain unclear. The casualty count may continue to rise as rescue and recovery operations proceed.
