Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 18 August, Russian strikes across eight regions killed 21 people and injured 61. The deadliest was a morning missile strike on a crossroads in the centre of the village of Pechenihy in Kharkiv Oblast — an area of shops, a cafe, a post office and homes — which killed ten people and injured 17. In Sumy Oblast an attack across the region killed three and injured three, including a man killed by a drone detonation and a man killed by an unexploded-ordnance blast. In the Zaporizhzhia region two people were killed in an evening drone strike on a garden-plot community in Zaporizhzhia city, with four more injured; two later strikes in Kushuhum and Yasna Polyana killed a 72-year-old man and injured two. A daytime barrage on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast killed a coal-mine worker in the Pavlohrad district and a woman in the Synelnykove district and injured two. Kherson Oblast's official 06:00-to-06:00 window recorded two killed — the previously reported Novokairy deaths — and ten injured. In Donetsk Oblast shelling killed one person in Druzhkivka and injured five. A daytime series of strikes on a suburb of Odesa injured nine, including two 16-year-old boys, and the Kharkiv regional daily recorded seven more injured elsewhere, most in Izium; Chernihiv Oblast reported two injured. The Air Force said Russia launched about 147 Shahed-type drones overnight and downed or suppressed 111; several tolls, including in Pechenihy, 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 18 August (from 18:00 on 17 August), Russia attacked Ukraine with 147 Shahed-type attack drones — including jet-powered variants — along with Gerbera and “Parodiya” decoy drones, launched from Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo and Prymorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia and from occupied Donetsk and Crimea. As of 08:00, air defence had shot down or suppressed 111 targets across the north, south and east of the country; impacts were recorded at 19 locations and debris from downed drones at three 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.
