A Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv on the night of Monday 6 July 2026 killed 28 people and wounded dozens.

Omissions

• The figure of 28 killed covers the wider Kyiv area (city plus surrounding region), not the city of Kyiv alone, where the toll was 18 (with 10 more in the wider region, per Reuters).
• The attack took place overnight from Sunday 5 July into the early hours of Monday 6 July 2026; the claim's phrasing 'night of Monday 6 July' is a slight simplification.
• Toll figures were preliminary ('at least') and were updated over the following days.
