The number of casualties from the Russian strike on Kyiv on July 31 has risen to 82, including 10 children. The Russians are known to have killed 7 people.
This was announced by the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko.
It is known that as a result of the strike on Kyiv, the Russians killed 7 people and injured 82 more. 44 are already in hospitals and receiving assistance.
“A 6-year-old boy died in an ambulance, he was not pulled out of the other world. At least 10 children were injured, 5 of them in hospitals. The Russians did it. A girl, 5 months old, was injured – she was shot by the Russians. The data is not final,” Tkachenko reported.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko also reported that up to 10 people could be trapped under the rubble.
Over a hundred objects were damaged in the city, including residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, medical institutions, and a university.
“This is where the Russians are hitting. A direct hit from a missile destroyed the entrance to a nine-story building in the Svyatoshynskyi district. Another one. This is the enemy’s style,” Tkachenko noted.
As a reminder, on the night of Thursday, July 31, Russian forces carried out a combined attack on Kyiv, using missiles and drones. The strike resulted in significant destruction in several areas of the capital, with fatalities and dozens of injuries.
It should be noted that First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said that the Russians are already modernizing their “shaheeds” so that they can more effectively avoid Ukrainian interceptor drones. He noted that the Russian military is already preparing to massively use jet drones, as well as implementing technologies that allow them to bypass Ukrainian interceptor drones.
As reported, a specialist in the field of electronic warfare and radio-electronic intelligence Sergey “Flash” Beskrestnov noted that Ukrainians began to hear a new eerie sound in the night sky — we are talking about jet versions of Shahed kamikaze drones, which Russia began to use in recent days. This was the enemy’s response to the successes of Ukrainian anti-aircraft drones. So far, the attacks are not massive, but the emergence of a new type of drone may change the nature of threats from the air in the coming months.
By the way, Megan Mobbs, daughter of former US President’s special representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, said that Russia’s nighttime attack on Kyiv is a direct signal that the Kremlin is testing the resolve of the United States.
