Russian and Ukrainian Strikes Cause Civilian Casualties Amid Ongoing Conflict

Analysed 27 Jul 2026·20 sources analysed·Moscow, Russia·Politics
Russian and Ukrainian Strikes Cause Civilian Casualties Amid Ongoing ConflictPreviousNext

Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv early Sunday, causing fires and wounding at least three civilians, while attacks in other Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, killed several people. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian-occupied areas, killing four civilians in Horlivka, according to local authorities. The exchanges reflect ongoing intensified conflict, with both sides reporting civilian casualties and accusing each other of targeting non-military sites. Ukrainian officials reported increased missile and drone attacks, while Russia claimed to have intercepted many Ukrainian drones overnight.
