The number of Ukrainians killed in Russia's Dec. 29 mass attacks on Kyiv rose to 32 on Jan. 4 as two more bodies were found, said Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration.
The figure previously increased to 30 on Jan. 3 after another wounded person died in the hospital.
It was the deadliest attack on civilians in Kyiv since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack against multiple regions of Ukraine on Dec. 29, killing over 50 people and wounding over 160. Some 30 people were injured in the capital alone.
Ukrainian air defense downed 114 of the 158 Russian missiles and drones launched at the country, according to the Air Force.
Russia carried out another large-scale attack on Jan. 2, launching almost 100 missiles and 35 drones, killing at least five people and injuring at least 130.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down all of the drones, as well as 72 missiles.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
