Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 8 September, Russian strikes across Ukraine killed five people and wounded 56, by official Ukrainian counts, in a nationwide overnight attack whose main directions were the Odesa and Kyiv regions. A ballistic missile strike on five districts of Kyiv killed two people and wounded ten, with rescuers pulling 13 from a partly collapsed apartment building. In the Donetsk region a day of strikes, including a guided-bomb attack on Kramatorsk, killed two and wounded ten, and in the Kherson region artillery and drones killed one person and wounded 13. Regional daily tolls left 12 wounded in the Zaporizhzhia region, four in the Kharkiv region and one each in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions, while strikes on the 7th-Kilometre market outside Odesa wounded three and a hit on a tobacco factory in Pryluky wounded one; and on a railway in the Sumy region drones set alight the locomotive of a Kyiv–Sumy passenger train whose passengers had been moved to safety in advance.
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 8 September (from 18:00 on 7 September), Russia attacked Ukraine with 166 Shahed-type strike and decoy drones and 32 Kh-101 cruise missiles, together with Oniks anti-ship missiles and Iskander-M/S-400/KN-23 ballistic missiles. Air defence downed or suppressed 175 of them — two ballistic missiles, 31 cruise missiles and 142 drones — across the country, according to the Ukrainian Air Force (preliminary, as of 08:30 on 8 September, with the attack still under way). Strikes were recorded at 29 locations and falling debris at nine more; the main directions were the Odesa and Kyiv regions.
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.
