“La risposta della Russia al nostro desiderio di pace” – Attacco di massa russo a Kyiv Kills 8, incluso il bambino, lesioni 124 | “Almeno 10 bambini feriti, cinque dei quali negli ospedali. Ciò è stato fatto dai russi”, ha scritto Tymur Tkachenko, capo dell’amministrazione militare della città, nel suo canale ufficiale Telegram.

From the article: Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles against Kyiv overnight on July 31, killing at least eight people and injuring 124, local authorities reported.

The attack killed six people in Kyiv’s Sviatoshynskyi district and two in Solomianskyi, including a six-year-old boy. The rescue operation is ongoing.

Three police officers were among the injured. At least 44 people required hospitalization as of approximately 10:30 a.m. local time. First responders have been working at the scenes of the attacks.

“At least 10 injured children, five of them in hospitals. This was done by Russians,” Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city’s military administration, wrote in his official Telegram channel.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko added that the number of children injured was the highest recorded in the city since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Russian forces launched over 300 drones and eight missiles against Ukraine overnight, targeting Kyiv and other regions, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The attack came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Russia within 10 days unless the Kremlin agrees to halt its full-scale war against Ukraine.

“Kyiv is under massive drone attack. Make no mistake, this is (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s response to President Trump’s deadline,” Meaghan Mobbs, daughter of U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, wrote on X. “He is testing American resolve and strength. We must not be found wanting.”

At least 27 locations around the city were hit, mainly in the city’s Solomianskyi district, where an educational institution and a residential building had been targeted, Tkachenko wrote.

Kyiv’s Sviatoshynskyi district also suffered an attack, with a resulting fire burning vehicles and debris striking the ninth floor of a residential building.

Damages were also reported in the Holosiivskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts.

Following the end of the air raid siren at 3:20 a.m. local time, the threat quickly resumed at approximately 4:30 a.m., with the Air Force warning of renewed missile threats toward Kyiv. Shortly after, another round of explosions was heard in the skies over Ukraine’s capital, local media reported.

The renewed missile barrage caused further damage, with a residential building in the Sviatoshynskyi district reported to be hit and partially destroyed, and victims trapped under rubble, according to Zelensky, who shared video footage of the scene. First responders have been dispatched to the site of the attack.
