Russia struck Kyivmedspetstrans twice, destroying five ambulances
During a massive missile attack on Kyiv on the night of August 1, Russian forces struck the premises of the “Kyivmedspetstrans” company twice. As a result of the shelling, five ambulances were completely destroyed, and another 20 specialized vehicles sustained significant damage.
According to preliminary data, four of the company’s buildings were partially destroyed as a result of the Russian attack, and several other facilities sustained damage of varying degrees.
Despite the extensive damage, no company employees were injured.
The Kyiv City State Administration reported that as a result of the shelling:
- 5 ambulances were completely burned;
- another 20 vehicles that supported the capital’s healthcare facilities sustained significant damage.
Emergency and rescue services are currently working at the site of the strike, and efforts are underway to address the aftermath of the Russian attack and assess the damage caused.
This was reported by the Kyiv City State Administration.
On the night of August 1, Russian forces carried out one of their largest airstrikes, firing 35 missiles at Ukraine—27 of which were ballistic—as well as 185 attack drones of various types. Kyiv was the enemy’s primary target, but strikes were also carried out in the Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Poltava regions.
The number of casualties resulting from the massive Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of August 1 rose to 30. Among the wounded were four children, and nine people were killed in the strike.
Following yet another massive Russian attack on Kyiv, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga stated that the country urgently needs additional air and missile defense systems, as well as interceptor missiles.
Nine people were killed and another 28 were injured as a result of the Russian nighttime attack on Kyiv on August 1. Among the victims were four children.
On the evening of July 31, a Russian attack drone struck a high-rise residential building in the Saltivsky district of Kharkiv. According to preliminary reports, the building’s roof was damaged, but there were no casualties.
As a reminder, Russian drones attacked the Chernihiv region, damaging a gas station and a resort.
Russia launched a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv on the afternoon of 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.
Russian troops shot and killed a Ukrainian prisoner of war in the Donetsk region.
