Russian Missiles Strike Three Ukrainian Cities, Killing Seven Including Two Children

On 30 July 2026, Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Lviv in a coordinated multi-axis barrage. Six died in Kryvyi Rih — two girls aged five and twelve, and four adults — from an Iskander-M launched from Voronezh. One was killed in Kyiv. The spread from central Ukraine to the Polish border aimed to stretch air defences across the country's full depth. Poland scrambled fighter jets in response.
