Ten people were wounded in a Russian missile attack on Kyiv, including at least one child, according to a single unconfirmed report. The casualty count is a partial update from earlier assessments.
A Russian missile attack on Kyiv has wounded at least 10 people, including a child, according to a single unverified report. The updated casualty count, reported around midday Saturday, is higher than the three wounded reported in earlier assessments of the same ballistic missile barrage. The development follows a series of strikes on the capital that began early Saturday morning.
The thread of reports began at 03:51 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported a missile attack on Kyiv, with at least five explosions heard. Subsequent updates at the same timestamp specified eight ballistic missiles were used, then that three people were wounded and damage was reported in several districts. The casualty figure then rose to six wounded in a report by ynet, before settling at three wounded according to local officials cited by N12. The current figure of 10 wounded, including a child, represents a significant increase from that earlier assessment, but remains based on a single outlet and has not been corroborated by other channels or official Ukrainian sources.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, Russian aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities have continued, with a strike overnight on July 6 killing at least 11 people, and a separate attack on July 2 killing at least 25. The capital Kyiv has been a frequent target, including a combined drone and missile attack on July 6 that killed nine people.
The source for the updated casualty count is a single outlet; corroboration from other news organizations or official Ukrainian authorities has not yet been published. The figure may continue to evolve as rescue and search operations proceed.
