As a reminder, the death toll from Russia’s strike on the Kyiv region on July 24 has risen to 11.
Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv during the day on July 24, although such attacks usually occur at night. An expert believes this may have been an attempt to wear down Ukraine’s air defense, a show of force, or the result of a technical delay in the missile launch.
On July 24, at around 11:30 a.m., Russian forces launched an attack on the Kyiv region with three “Iskander-M”/S-400 ballistic missiles from the north. Air defense forces intercepted one missile; the other two struck the Bucha district.
