Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 17 August, Russian strikes across eight regions killed nine people and injured 57. In Sumy Oblast an overnight massed drone attack on the Sumy hromada killed an elderly couple in their home and injured a woman, with two more hurt elsewhere. Donetsk Oblast reported the heaviest toll — two killed and 18 injured across 27 attacks — the deadliest strike hitting Kramatorsk, where a drone on a Nova Poshta post office killed a 19-year-old worker. In the Zaporizhzhia region two people were killed and three injured across the Zaporizhzhia district. A Russian FPV drone killed two men in the village of Novokairy in Kherson Oblast, where the regional prosecutor opened a war-crimes case; the region's official 06:00-to-06:00 window recorded six more injured, and a morning series of drone strikes on drivers and a pedestrian in the Korabelnyi district of Kherson injured three. In the Dnipropetrovsk region an evening drone strike on transport infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih killed one person, and six were injured across the region over the day. A daytime drone strike on a shopping centre in a suburb of Odesa injured seven, including a family with an 8-year-old boy, and an overnight strike on the city's port injured four and damaged a Togo-flagged vessel. Kharkiv Oblast reported six injured, most in Izium, and Chernihiv Oblast one. The Air Force said Russia launched about 128 Shahed-type drones overnight and downed or suppressed 106; several tolls are preliminary. The figures are drawn from official Ukrainian sources.
These are not just numbers, photographs, or cards. They are real people’s lives.This report preserves only facts confirmed by official sources.
Overnight into 17 August (from 18:00 on 16 August), Russia attacked Ukraine with 128 Shahed-type attack drones — including jet-powered variants — along with Gerbera and “Parodiya” decoy drones, launched from Kursk, Oryol and Prymorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia and occupied Donetsk. As of 08:30, air defence had shot down or suppressed 106 targets across the north, south and east of the country; impacts were recorded at 14 locations and debris from downed drones at two more. No missile launches were reported in this tally. The figures are preliminary — the Air Force issued them while the attack was still under way.
Verified by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission (OHCHR): in July 2026 alone, at least 437 civilians were killed and 2,610 injured in Ukraine — the highest monthly civilian death toll since May 2022.
Official confirmation required. A report is included only after confirmation by a Ukrainian regional administration, the State Emergency Service (DSNS), police or another public authority. A link may lead to reputable reporting that directly attributes the facts to that official source. Casualty figures are official and time-stamped.
Curated, not exhaustive. Reporting delays, safety restrictions and limited information from occupied territories mean that some attacks will not appear. A report can also be delayed until an official account is available.
Finished editions, coarse locations. This is not a live map: each edition covers a completed 24-hour window, and a report appears only after Ukrainian authorities have made it public themselves. Exact coordinates appear only if the authorities have disclosed a location; otherwise the map shows the district or city. Casualty figures are preliminary, time-stamped (“as of …”) and corrected as official updates arrive.
Overlapping official windows. An oblast’s 24-hour tally can cover a strike this site already reported on its own the previous morning, hours before that tally was published. Each card keeps the figure its official source stated, so an edition’s daily total is the sum of the official reports it contains and can overlap the edition before it. Multi-day totals on the map subtract the overlap, so every victim is counted once.
No money passes through the app. Every “Support” button is a direct external link to an established fund (UNITED24, Superhumans, Voices of Children and others), matched to the kind of recovery or relief work involved. These links support each fund’s broader work and are not earmarked for the people or locations in a specific report.
“Support the project” is separate from the funds. The Ko-fi link in the footer covers only the project’s own running costs — hosting, subscriptions and maintenance. It is not a fundraiser for victims, it is not connected to any of the funds above, and the project is not run for profit.
