Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 20 August, Russian strikes killed 18 people and injured 93 across six regions, by official Ukrainian tallies. The deadliest was a massed overnight barrage of ballistic and cruise missiles and attack drones on Kyiv, which killed 12 people — eight of them in the Solomianskyi district — and wounded at least 33; a children's hospital and a school were among the buildings damaged, and one more person was killed and seven injured in the wider Kyiv region. In Zhytomyr, a jet-powered drone hit the regional police headquarters, killing two officers and wounding at least 20. The same overnight wave also struck energy infrastructure in the Odesa and Chernihiv regions, leaving around 13,000 households in southern Odesa Oblast without power; no casualties were reported there. 21 August was declared a day of mourning in Kyiv.
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 20 August, Russia attacked Ukraine with ballistic missiles (Iskander-M and S-400/Onyx/Zircon types), 36 cruise and air-launched missiles (Kh-101, Iskander-K, Kh-59), eight Kalibr cruise missiles, two 'Banderol' loitering munitions and about 168 Shahed-type attack drones — roughly half of them jet-powered — along with Gerbera drones and 'Parodiya' decoys, launched from several directions. As of 09:30, with the attack still under way, air defence had shot down or suppressed 186 targets: 31 cruise missiles, eight Kalibr missiles, two 'Banderol' munitions and 145 drones. Impacts were recorded at 28 locations and debris fell at two more. These are preliminary figures, with some hostile drones still airborne at the time of the report.
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.
