“An overnight barrage of Russian missiles and drones killed at least 25 people in Kiev and wounded many more.”
On July 2, 2026, a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least 25 people, with the toll later rising to at least 30 fatalities as rescue operations continued.
The claim accurately reflects the casualty reports that were emerging and being widely circulated by authorities and news outlets on July 2, 2026. While the death toll was subsequently updated to at least 30 in the following days, the figure of "at least 25" was a supported and accurate report at the time the video was published.
