# Russia Strikes Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles, Reports Differ on Toll 2026-08-10T12:53:03+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Hindu reports that multiple blasts rocked Kyiv shortly after midnight on August 11 after a ballistic missile alert, with at least one person wounded. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed a ballistic attack and dispatched emergency services to the Shevchenkivsky district. In the southeast, nine people were wounded in a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia, according to regional head Ivan Fedorov. Times Now reports a separate attack on August 5 that killed one person and injured five in Kyiv, and says 13 people, including a child, were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on Nizhnekamsk, Russia. The outlets disagree on the date of the Kyiv attack. Both sources note that Russia has used North Korean-supplied KN-23 ballistic missiles, and that Ukraine's air defence faces a shortage of interceptor missiles. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - thehindu.com Tags: ballistic missiles, civilian casualties, drone attack, Kyiv, Nizhnekamsk, Russia-Ukraine war Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/13-killed-in-kyiv-as-russian-ballistic-missiles-hit-capital/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
