Every marker is a real place. Every number refers to a person.
In the 24 hours to the morning of 17 September, Russian missile and drone strikes across Ukraine killed six people and wounded 63, by official Ukrainian counts. In a mass overnight attack on Kyiv, missiles and drones wounded 16 people, including two children, and damaged apartment blocks, schools and other buildings across four districts. In the Sumy region, guided bombs killed a 64-year-old man and wounded several residents, among them two 14-year-olds; a drone-dropped explosive killed a 68-year-old man in Kherson, where 14 were wounded over the day. The Donetsk region reported two killed, and a separate FPV-drone strike near Nikopol killed a 41-year-old police officer. Overnight strikes on Odesa wounded seven, among them two children. In Kyiv, a Russian strike destroyed a warehouse of the Olena Zelenska Foundation holding humanitarian aid for children, families, hospitals and schools; drones also struck a farm in the Chernihiv region and a passenger train in the Mykolaiv region. Ukraine's Air Force said it downed 131 of the drones and missiles launched overnight.
These are not just numbers, photographs, or cards. They are real people’s lives.This report preserves only facts confirmed by official sources.
Ukraine's Air Force reported 131 targets shot down or suppressed overnight into 17 September — 124 Shahed-type and other drones and 7 “Banderol”/“Dan-M” missiles — with impacts recorded at 36 locations and debris at five more (preliminary, as of 08:00, with the attack 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.
