The article was updated after Kateryna Naralnyk's sister, Tamara, informed the Kyiv Independent after midnight that the son, daughter, and two grandsons were confirmed dead. All Kateryna Naralnyk saw was black smoke after a Russia ballistic missile hit her apartment building in Kyiv early on July 31.

By Friday morning, more than a day after the missile-and-drone assaults, rescuers sifting through the rubble of collapsed buildings had raised the total killed to 31, making the strikes one of the worst bombardments of Russia’s 3½ year war. The dead included four more children, one of them two years old.

Two sisters, Alina and Anastasiia Humeniuk, and their mother Iryna were killed in a Russian strike on Kyiv on the night of 30-31 July. Source: a Facebook post by Lyceum No. 13, a specialised secondary school in the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv,
