Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 23 August, Russian strikes killed nine people and injured 73 across ten regions, by official Ukrainian tallies — a day with no single mass-casualty event but a wide spread of harm. The largest discrete strike was a ballistic missile that hit a commercial and warehouse site in the Boryspilskyi district of Kyiv Oblast around midday on 22 August, killing a man and a woman and wounding eight, including a child. Regional daily tallies reported three more people killed and 20 wounded in the Zaporizhzhia region, two killed in the Donetsk region, and two killed in the Sumy region — the two Sumy deaths in detonations of explosive devices left by the fighting near the border. Dozens more people were wounded across the Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv and Mykolaiv regions. Overnight into 23 August, air defences reported shooting down or suppressing 97 of 127 attack drones, in an attack still under way at the time of the morning report.
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 23 August (from 18:00 on 22 August), Russia attacked Ukraine with 127 attack drones — Shahed drones, including jet-powered variants, Gerbera and Parodiya decoys — launched from Kursk, Millerovo, Oryol, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, occupied Donetsk region and occupied Crimea. As of 09:00 on 23 August, Ukrainian air defence had shot down or suppressed 97 of them; impacts from 27 drones were recorded at 22 locations, with falling debris at three more. The tally was preliminary — the attack was still under way at the time of the air-force 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.
