Russian ballistic missiles struck the grounds of a Kyiv children’s hospital and set a warehouse ablaze — overnight strikes across Ukraine killed at least 9
Young patients and medical staff had reached the shelter before impact, sparing them, though a 28-year-old man was wounded at a nearby fire.
On 11 August, Russian ballistic missiles targeted Kyiv, striking a children's hospital in the Shevchenkivskyi district and igniting a warehouse fire nearby. The hospital strike left no casualties, as staff had already moved patients to a shelter. Meanwhile, a warehouse blaze engulfed 1,200 square meters of space, resulting in one injury.
The Air Force had previously warned of the ballistic threat. Damage extended to the Kyiv Oblast, with a warehouse strike in Bucha destroying buildings and three trucks, though no casualties were reported. Elsewhere, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast witnessed devastating attacks, with Zaporizhzhia seeing six fatalities and Dnipropetrovsk losing three lives, including a 15-year-old boy.
Meanwhile, in Mykolaiv, a drone strike injured a 75-year-old woman. These strikes highlight the relentless Russian aggression against Ukrainian cities during the summer.
