The Russian Federation launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv. The most alarming incident was a projectile hitting the Shevchenkivskyi district, directly on the territory of one of the children's hospitals. According to the State Emergency Service (SES), two deep craters were formed at the site of the explosion. The medical facility building suffered damage to its glazing, and a gas pipe was also damaged. Fortunately, thanks to timely evacuation, children and medical staff were in the shelter at the moment of the strike, which allowed avoiding casualties and injuries among patients and doctors. Gas service specialists arrived at the scene promptly and eliminated the leak, preventing possible secondary disasters. Rescuers continue their work at the site, assessing the damage and conducting restoration work. ### Powerful fire in a warehouse Parallel to the strike on the hospital, a fire broke out in a warehouse in another district of the city. The fire covered a significant area — 1200 square meters. Footage published by the SES demonstrates the scale of destruction and the intensity of the firefighters' work. The fire was first localized and then completely extinguished. As a result of this incident, one person was injured and handed over to medical personnel for assistance. Information about possible additional casualties in this area is still being clarified. ### Chronology of escalation in August 2026 The night attack on August 11 was a continuation of a tense series of events at the beginning of the month. Three days earlier, on the evening of August 8, Kyiv and Dnipro were subjected to a massive drone attack, which was also accompanied by explosions. And on the night of August 8, the capital was attacked by ballistic missiles, resulting in fires and destruction recorded in two districts of the city. The Ukrainian Air Force warned citizens in advance about the threat of missile launches, which helped minimize human casualties. ### Contradictory data In the context of assessing the damage from missile strikes on Kyiv in 2026, experts note differences in methodologies for calculating consequences. Official SES data usually record only confirmed facts at the time of publication (for example, one injured person at the warehouse). However, independent assessments and data from search groups often indicate that the final number of casualties and destruction may be higher, as the consequences of strikes on infrastructure and residential buildings are revealed over several days. In particular, last month (July 2026), the number of deaths from a strike was revised upwards during search operations, which serves as a precedent for caution when assessing current data. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Number of deaths from Russia's strike on July 6 increased to 19: details of search operations, — SES](https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/760035-obstrel-kieva-gschs-obnaruzhila-19-pogibshih-podrobnosti) - Использован для контекста в блоке 'Противоречивые данные' о динамике подсчета жертв. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Were there any casualties among children in the hospital? **A:** No, children and staff were in the shelter; there are no casualties or injuries among them. ### Q: What happened at the warehouse? **A:** A fire broke out in the warehouse covering an area of 1200 sq.m; one person was injured. ### Q: When was the attack? **A:** On the night of August 11, 2026.
