Russian missile attack on July 8

Russia launched extensive strikes on Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and other Ukrainian cities in the morning and afternoon of July 8. 

This attack is one of the largest and most devastating this year.

The Russian forces hit the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital and a residential building in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district. 

Nine people were killed and 11 injured in the capital. Rescue operations and debris removal are ongoing, reports indicate.

Russians fired more than 40 missiles at Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported.

At least 20 people were killed and around 50 injured across the country in total, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
