Sadly, nine people were killed. Another 33 were injured, including four children. A total of 105 people were rescued."

Background:

• On the night of 31 July-1 August, Russian forces launched a large-scale ballistic missile attack on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast, causing fires and destruction in five districts of the capital. Earlier reports confirmed nine were killed and more than 30 were injured.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors, Ukraine's air defence managed to shoot down only one of 27 Russian ballistic missiles, and urged partners to provide additional anti-ballistic systems.
