Kyiv shelling on July 31 — consequences
On the night of Thursday, July 31, Russia launched 309 strike drones and 8 Iskander-K cruise missiles at Ukraine. The main direction of the strike was Kyiv.
The aerial targets approached the city in two waves — first drones, and then in the morning at 4:35 missiles arrived. According to the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Air Force Yuri Ihnat, the missiles flew at extremely low altitudes, which complicated both their detection and interception.
Shelters save lives
Another resident of the Teremki microdistrict, Natalia, reported that she constantly hides from shelling in the metro. Her apartment is located on the 9th floor of the affected building.
The shockwave damaged her balcony, shattered windows in the kitchen, broke the faucet, and shrapnel flew into the room.
'When the Shahed drones were shot down — my son, husband, and I were in the metro. After the alarm ended, we returned home, the guys went to sleep, and I couldn't. I sensed that something was going to happen. And when I heard the alarm in the early morning — I woke them up, we managed to get down to the first floor just as we heard a loud explosion and glass shattering'
All day on Thursday, July 31, municipal workers cleared the debris, while cafes on the first floors of the damaged buildings operated. One of the owners, Anna, who was also affected by the attack in her own apartment, told Novyny.LIVE that 'leaving her beloved job is impossible, and despite everything, life must go on.'
As a reminder, according to the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA), Tymur Tkachenko, the shelling damaged over 100 facilities: residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and universities.

A total of 135 residents of Kyiv were affected. Among them, 12 children. 30 injured individuals are in hospital wards. This includes 5 children. 97 people received outpatient medical assistance.
