  • On Thursday, Russia launched ballistic missile attacks against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, with Mayor Vitali Klitschko reporting fires caused by falling debris across the capital and the Ukrainian Air Force warning of incoming projectiles.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on July 3 that large-scale missile attacks on Ukraine "must continue," signaling a tactical shift toward strikes on residential neighborhoods and infrastructure.
  • Prior to the strikes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned citizens of a "massive attack"; local media reported attacks hit residential areas in Kryvyi Rih, leaving many trapped in rubble, with at least one person killed.
  • Rescuers are working at strike sites in the Kyiv region as residents seek safety in metro stations; Klitschko urged citizens to remain in shelters, warning that the threat of further attacks persists.
