The large‑scale Russian air campaign of 29‑30 July 2026 continued to inflict heavy civilian casualties. Ukrainian officials confirmed more than 70 missiles and over 280 drones were launched, killing at least eight civilians—including a family of five in Kryvyi Rih—and injuring more than 50 people across Kyiv, Poltava, Lviv and other regions. In the Dnipropetrovsk oblast, a ballistic missile identified as a North‑Korean KN‑23/KN‑24 struck the village of Radushne, killing five members of another family.

A separate night strike on a house in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih destroyed the home of the Voronov family, killing ten members – parents, seven children and a one‑year‑old nephew. President Zelensky said the projectile was a North Korean‑made ballistic missile, indicating a possible new supply line for Moscow. Rescue teams later recovered two younger children alive from the rubble.

The United Nations Secretary‑General condemned the attacks as violations of international humanitarian law, UNICEF confirmed at least three child deaths, and the IAEA warned that intensified fighting near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant complicates safety efforts. President Zelensky blamed delayed delivery of Patriot systems and called for additional Western air‑defence aid.
