Rescuers in Kyiv finish work after damage from Russian missile strike
Rescuers completed emergency response efforts following a Russian attack on Kyiv, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said on May 7.
Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack on the night of May 7, with four ballistic missiles and 142 drones targeting Ukraine. The capital was struck twice — first by missiles, then by drones in the early morning.
Debris from intercepted drones fell across four city districts — Sviatoshynskyi, Solomianskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Dniprovskyi. The assault left two people dead and seven injured, including four children.
In Dniprovskyi, the top floors of a residential high-rise were destroyed. Fires broke out in other districts, prompting emergency rescues.
Five people, including three children, were saved from a burning building in Sviatoshynskyi.
The bodies of two victims were later recovered from a damaged five-story building in Shevchenkivskyi.
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.
