Overview
- Russian forces launched a mass overnight strike that Ukrainian officials said included about 70 missiles, nine ballistic types, and roughly 280 drones, with many intercepted but multiple warheads reaching cities.
- The attacks on July 30 killed at least eight civilians, including children, and wounded dozens after strikes hit Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Lviv and other regions and destroyed homes and public buildings.
- Poland scrambled fighter jets and opened an investigation after an object tracked over its airspace fell in Lublin province; investigators reported fragments consistent with a Kh‑101 cruise missile.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy renewed urgent appeals for faster deliveries and licensed production of Patriot‑class interceptors, saying shortages of Western anti‑ballistic missiles left civilians exposed.
- Ukraine responded with intensified strikes on Russian logistics, including fires at Wildberries warehouses and attacks on tankers, a campaign meant to choke Moscow’s war supply chains and revenue.
