A large-scale Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv early on July 31, 2025, resulted in the deaths of at least 31 civilians, including five children, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and local officials. The strikes caused extensive damage, including the collapse of a nine-story apartment building and a major fire at a furniture factory near Kyiv. Rescue teams worked through the rubble, with over 100 rescuers and more than 30 pieces of equipment deployed at the scene. The attack wounded approximately 159 people. This bombardment is considered one of the deadliest attacks on Ukraine's capital since the conflict began in 2022. The assault involved waves of missiles and Shahed/Geran-type long-range drones, leading to multiple explosions across the city. Kyiv remains in mourning following the incident.
