Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine on July 30, killing at least nine people including children in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih, and damaging homes, businesses, and infrastructure across multiple regions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Among the dead were a 6-year-old girl and boys aged 11 and 17, highlighting the civilian toll of the strikes [1].

Ukraine reported that Russia fired over 70 missiles and more than 280 drones during the assault [1, 6]. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted over 260 drones but struggled against ballistic missiles due to a shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles, with only one ballistic missile intercepted [4, 6]. President Volodymyr Zelensky said, "Protection against the Russian missile threat is the most important task when it comes to saving the lives of our people" and noted the shortfall in interceptors encourages further strikes [6, 4].

Explosions, fires, and power outages were reported in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Poltava regions [1, 2, 3, 4]. In Kyiv, strikes in the Darnytskyi district killed seven people and injured 14, while a separate strike in the Solomyanskyi district killed two and injured eight [2].

Ukraine's acting Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha confirmed that a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile violated NATO airspace by entering Poland early on July 30 and crashed in Tarnawa-Kolonia in eastern Poland [1, 7, 8, 9, 10]. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, "Everything indicates that it was a Russian missile," and described the impact crater as around 10 meters wide [1, 7, 9]. NATO scrambled fighter jets in response to the missile breach [9].

Russian officials claimed to have shot down 258 Ukrainian drones overnight and said their attack targeted Ukrainian military-industrial and logistics facilities [4, 6].

On August 1, Polish Prime Minister Tusk visited the missile crater site in Poland amid continued NATO military readiness [7, 9]. Ukrainian officials have emphasized the urgent need for more air defense missiles to counter the ongoing threats [2, 3, 4].
