A Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv on September 30 killed two people and injured five others, bringing the total casualty toll from the strike to seven, according to Ukraine's state news agency Ukrinform.
The report described the attack as massive in scale, though it did not specify the number or type of missiles and drones involved, nor which parts of the city were targeted.
Russia has carried out repeated missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities throughout its full-scale invasion, which began in February 2022, frequently targeting energy infrastructure and residential areas alongside military objectives.
Ukrainian authorities routinely update casualty figures in the hours following such attacks as emergency responders complete search-and-rescue operations and assess damage, which can account for revisions to initial tolls.
Ukrinform's report did not include statements from Ukrainian officials regarding the broader military or political context of the September 30 strike.
