In Kyiv, debris continues to be cleared after nighttime shelling. Rescuers found the body of a deceased person in the destroyed entrance of a high-rise building in the Svyatoshynskyi district.
This was announced by the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko.
The body of a deceased person was pulled from under the rubble of a destroyed entrance, which was hit by a Russian missile, in the Svyatoshynskyi district.
The head of the KMVA noted that six people have already died as a result of the attack on a house in the Svyatoshynskyi district. A total of 8 victims of the Russian attack in Kyiv
The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that one child was among the dead.
It is worth noting that emergency and rescue operations are still ongoing. And information about the victims of the attack is constantly being updated.
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.
