Shortly after midnight on July 2, Russia attacked the Ukrainian
capital with a mix of missiles of various types and kamikaze UAVs.
Several fires were reported across the city by 2:30 a.m., with at least one apartment building in the Desnianskyi District partially collapsing.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said emergency services were working at the sites. According to the mayor, as of 2:27 a.m., at least five people were reported injured in the Shevchenkivskyi District alone.
Another municipal official, Tymur Tkachenko, said that a medical facility was damaged in the Shevchenkivskyi District.
On July 1, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces were preparing a new mass strike on Ukraine. He said Kyiv had intelligence suggesting a combined missile-and-drone strike was imminent.
Shortly afterwards, gas station network WOG closed its facilities
across Kyiv Oblast until next morning, citing a recent trend of enemy drones targeting
retail fuel infrastructure.
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.
