On July 2, 2026, Russian forces carried out a large-scale attack using drones and missiles on the Ukrainian capital, causing many civilian casualties and heavy damage to buildings.

2026年7月2日，俄羅斯軍隊使用無人機與飛彈對烏克蘭首都發動大規模攻擊，造成許多平民傷亡及建築物嚴重受損。

The attack began early Thursday morning with 74 missiles, including hypersonic types, and 496 drones. Ukrainian officials stated that the strikes hit between 30 and 130 locations across all ten districts of Kyiv. Major damage included the partial collapse of a nine-story apartment building and fires at a hotel. Furthermore, a scientific institute and a Red Cross warehouse were severely damaged. Reports on casualties vary, but it is estimated that 13 to 27 people died and over 90 were injured, including children and medical staff.

此次攻擊於週四早晨開始，使用了 74 枚飛彈（包括高超音速飛彈）與 496 架無人機。烏克蘭官員表示，基輔全部十個區共有 30 到 130 個地點被擊中。主要損害包括一棟九層住宅大樓部分倒塌以及一家酒店起火。此外，一家科學研究院與一個紅十字會倉庫嚴重受損。傷亡報告有所差異，但估計有 13 到 27 人死亡，超過 90 人受傷，其中包括兒童與醫療人員。

This escalation is part of a larger pattern of long-range strikes. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the attack was a response to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. These Ukrainian operations have reportedly caused a fuel crisis in Russia, forcing the country to import gasoline from India and limit fuel use in some areas. Consequently, the conflict has entered a new phase of intense bombing designed to destroy the opponent's industrial and transport capabilities.

此次升級是更大規模遠程打擊模式的一部分。俄羅斯國防部聲稱，此次攻擊是回應烏克蘭使用無人機襲擊俄羅斯煉油廠。據報導，烏克蘭的這些行動導致俄羅斯出現燃料危機，迫使該國從印度進口汽油，並在部分地區限制燃料使用。因此，衝突進入了一個新階段，旨在通過密集轟炸摧毀對方的工業與運輸能力。

International leaders have focused on the lack of effective air defense. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that the destruction happened because promised equipment from allies arrived too late. He also requested permission to produce Patriot missiles within Ukraine. Meanwhile, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas suggested new sanctions against Russia's military industry. Additionally, NATO members like Poland and Finland took preventive measures, such as launching fighter jets, to protect their own airspace.

國際領袖關注到缺乏有效防空系統的問題。總統澤倫斯基強調，之所以造成如此嚴重的破壞，是因為盟友承諾的設備送達太遲。他還要求獲准在烏克蘭境內生產愛國者飛彈。與此同時，歐盟外交政策主管卡拉斯建議對俄羅斯的軍工產業採取新制裁。此外，波蘭與芬蘭等北約成員國採取了預防措施，例如出動戰鬥機以保護其領空。

Currently, search-and-rescue teams are still working in Kyiv, and there is an urgent diplomatic push to obtain more advanced air defense systems.

目前，搜救隊仍在基輔工作，外交上正緊急爭取獲得更先進的防空系統。
