On Sunday evening, 5 July 2026, a Russian missile strike hit Kyiv, killing at least 14 civilians.

Omissions

• The claim states a minimum of 14 deaths, which matches the UN's initial toll for the city of Kyiv, but the final toll was higher: Reuters reported the death toll in Kyiv rising to 18 (with 28 dead across the wider Kyiv area) and CNN reported at least 19 killed in the city. Because the claim is a lower bound ('at least 14'), it remains accurate.
• The attack is described by sources as occurring overnight from Sunday 5 July into early Monday 6 July; the MEP's reference to 'Sunday evening' matches the start of the barrage.
• Sources include Reuters, CNN and UN News, all published on 5-6 July 2026, i.e. before or at the time of the session of 7 July 2026.
