Massive attack on Kyiv: 19 injured, fires in five districts, infrastructure destroyed

On the night of July 4, Russia launched a massive strike on Kyiv using suicide drones and, probably, other means of destruction. According to official information from the mayor of the capital, Vitaliy Klitschko, 19 residents of the capital were injured – 14 were hospitalized, another 5 received outpatient care.

The attack caused large-scale destruction and fires in six districts of Kyiv at once, affecting residential buildings, warehouses, garages, medical and educational institutions.

Transport infrastructure disruption

Passenger trains heading west are diverted via Vyshneve and Darnytsia, which means delays of at least 2 hours.

As soon as some part of the traffic between Svyatoshyn and Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi opens, reserve diesel locomotives will pick up all morning trains to the capital and pull them directly with reduced delays, Ukrainian Railways says. Urban transport traffic has also been changed due to damage and road closures.

This attack was one of the largest in recent weeks — Kyiv was hit in almost all districts simultaneously. The destruction of residential buildings, educational and medical institutions, large-scale fires and injuries to civilians once again confirm the terrorist tactics of the Russian Federation. The paralysis of the transport infrastructure and the partial collapse of urban transport demonstrate how vulnerable the capital remains in the face of constant threat. Rapid information allows residents to save lives, avoid danger, and adapt to emergency conditions.
