Russian Missile Barrage Hits Three Ukrainian Cities, Killing Seven

On 30 July 2026, Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Lviv in a coordinated multi-axis attack. Six died in Kryvyi Rih — including two girls, aged five and twelve — and one in Kyiv. By targeting cities from central Ukraine to the Polish border, Moscow aimed to stretch air defences across the country's full depth. Poland scrambled fighter jets in response.
