Kyiv strikes (2022–present)

Diagram of air raid sirens in Kyiv in 2023

Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine with around 2,950,000 residents, has been frequently targeted by the Russian Armed Forces during the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Overview

An attempt to capture the city was made in February–April 2022, but the Russian forces were repelled. Since then attacks have been carried remotely through airstrikes. Since October 2022 Kyiv has been occasionally attacked by Iranian-made drones on Russian service. ^[1] From the start of the invasion on 24 February 2022 until 28 May 2023, the air raid siren has been on in Kyiv for a total 887 hours ^[2] (or around 36 days). Kyiv has 1,078 bomb shelters, but in June 2023 a government commission found that only half of them are usable. ^[3]

Kyiv endured 1,300 drone and over 250 missiles attacks in 200 airstrikes by Russian forces in 2024. There were 500 air raid alerts throughout said year, resulting in 550 damages to residential buildings, with daily power outage averaging nine hours. ^[4] In the first three years of the full-scale war, 210 civilians died, among them 11 children. ^[5]

Strikes continued into 2025, with the July 3/4 overnight airstrike launching a record number of drones and missiles targeting Kyiv metropolitan area (KMA), breaking the daily record of Russian long-range drones launched across Ukraine since beginning of the invasion. ^[6] Further escalations occurred on July 8/9, with 728 drones and 11 missiles targeting KMA and ten out of Ukraine's 23 oblasts. ^[7]
