Russian forces bombarded kyiv again on Sunday July 19, causing the death of at least one person. The Ukrainian Air Force spoke of a ballistic missile attack. One person was killed and 13 injured in the attack, emergency services said, adding that the bombings targeted five areas of the capital. These strikes come the day after a Ukrainian drone attack, which left at least eight people dead in Russia.
kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko spoke on Telegram of burning vehicles and smoke rising near a shopping center in the Desniansky district. In that of Shevchenkivsky, the “falling debris” caused a fire in an apartment building. A residential building and a supermarket, as well as a house, were also on fire in two other parts of kyiv.
The capital regularly targeted
Since June, the Ukrainian capital has been regularly targeted by Russian strikes carried out using ballistic missiles, which are fast and more difficult to intercept than drones or cruise missiles. The Ukrainian capital suffers from a lack of PAC-3 missiles for its American-designed Patriot systems, essential for intercepting ballistic projectiles. US President Donald Trump recently announced his intention to allow Ukraine to produce missiles for these defense systems.
