Kyiv regional authorities reveal damage caused by Russia’s overnight attack
The air raid alert in Kyiv Oblast lasted eight hours during the Russian overnight attack on Ukraine, regional governor Ruslan Kravchenko reported on Telegram on Aug. 11.
The Russian military attacked the region with suicide drones
and missiles, and air defense systems were actively engaged. No direct hits to
residential or critical infrastructure were recorded.
Kravchenko confirmed that two people died as a result of the
enemy attack—a father and his four-year-old son. Additionally, three more
people were wounded.
The injured were diagnosed with bruises, abrasions of the
torso, head, limbs, and fractures. All affected individuals are receiving the
necessary medical care.
“In one of the districts of Kyiv Oblast, the bodies of a
35-year-old man and his 4-year-old son were removed from the rubble of a house
by the State Emergency Service,” the Kyiv regional police reported.
“There are also victims in the house: a 45-year-old man, a
53-year-old woman, and a 12-year-old boy.”
As of 9 a.m., two houses were destroyed, and six more were
damaged as a result of falling shell fragments in two districts of the region.
Four cars were also damaged.
Russian forces launched overnight attacks using drones and missiles across Ukraine. Explosions were heard in Kyiv.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
