In the 24 hours to the morning of 31 August, Russian strikes across Ukraine killed eight people and wounded at least 40, by official Ukrainian counts. Five people were killed and six wounded in the Donetsk region — two dead in Bilbasivka, among them a 13-year-old, and one each in Kramatorsk, Stara Varvarivka and Stepanivka. Two people were killed and three wounded in the Zaporizhzhia region, where the authorities reported more than 900 strikes across over 50 settlements including the city of Zaporizhzhia. In the Sumy region a 42-year-old man died in hospital of wounds from an earlier Russian drone strike. Russian shelling and drone attacks wounded 16 people in the Kherson region, where 11 apartment blocks and 15 houses were damaged and 31 residents were evacuated. A morning attack on the Kyiv region wounded five people across the Fastiv, Vyshhorod, Brovary and Boryspil districts, damaging homes, apartment blocks, cars and warehouses. Four people were wounded in the Kharkiv region, five in the Dnipropetrovsk region and one in the Mykolaiv region, where drones also damaged warehouses and started fires. Russian drones also hit a poultry farm and a private agricultural enterprise in the Chernihiv region and destroyed a Nova Poshta postal terminal in the Odesa region, setting off fires. Overnight, Russia attacked with a guided missile and 121 drones; air defences downed or suppressed 96.
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 31 August (from 18:00 on 30 August), Russia attacked Ukraine with one Kh-59 guided air-launched missile from over the Black Sea and 121 strike drones — Shahed (many jet-powered), Gerbera and decoy UAVs — launched from Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo and Prymorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia, occupied Donetsk and Hvardiiske in occupied Crimea. Ukrainian air defences shot down or suppressed 96 drones across the north, south, east and centre, and the missile missed its target; impacts were recorded at 11 locations and debris fell at 8 (preliminary, as of 08:00 Kyiv).
Verified by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission (OHCHR): in August 2026 alone, at least 372 civilians were killed and 2,349 injured in Ukraine — more civilians have now been killed and injured in the first eight months of 2026 than in all of 2025.
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.
