In the ongoing war in Ukraine, Kyiv city continues to be a target of Russian drone and missile strikes, causing civilian casualties and property damage.
Between July 5-11, 2025, at least 40 Russian long-range missile and drone strikes were recorded in various regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv. On July 28-29, 2025, Russia launched a series of drone and missile strikes against civilian targets near the frontline and in rear areas, including Kyiv, resulting in "high casualties."
According to reports, at least 53 civilian deaths from shelling, aerial bombs, and drones have occurred in regions that include Kyiv. The exact number of casualties and injuries caused by the fires in Kyiv is not specified, but more than two dozen of the injured were hospitalized, including three police officers.
The airstrikes have damaged buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv, though exact numbers are not detailed in the available information. However, given the high number of attacks, damage to residential and public buildings is expected.
Reports do not specify the location of a garage where people were reportedly trapped due to a fire caused by a Russian airstrike. The location of the trapped individuals is not known, nor is it clear whether they were among the previously reported injured.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a video of a destroyed building in Kyiv on Telegram, showing fire and smoke in the city. The report was from the portal "The Kyiv Independent," which also reported numerous explosions in the city.
RBK-Ukraine reported a fire at a gas pipeline due to falling debris from a Russian airstrike. The information about the fires and the fire at the gas pipeline came from "The Kyiv Independent" and RBK-Ukraine, respectively.
The intensity of attacks, especially via drones, has escalated, including high numbers of one-way attack drones launched at Ukraine in July. As of mid-July 2025, Russian territorial control in Ukraine has increased, with over 18.9% of Ukrainian territory occupied.
In summary, Kyiv remains a target of ongoing Russian drone and missile airstrikes causing civilian casualties and property damage. Precise figures for trapped individuals or exact damaged buildings in Kyiv are not available in the latest open-source reports. The overall situation reflects escalated conflict intensity with significant Russian advances and persistent Ukrainian counterattacks.
- The community policy in Kyiv should address the escalating number of civilian casualties and property damage caused by Russian drone and missile strikes, emphasizing the need for protection and support for its residents.
- The employment policy in Ukraine, especially in the news industry, should prioritize accurate and timely reporting of war-and-conflicts, politics, general-news, and crime-and-justice events, ensuring the public is well-informed about the ongoing situation in the country.
