Air raid alarms and explosions lasted for hours across Kyiv and the surrounding region on the night of 19 July 2026 when Russian strikes hit a UNICEF-contracted warehouse in Bilohorodka, destroying more than 106,000 humanitarian items valued at $3.9 million, including generators, drinking water, hygiene kits, and water storage tanks. Casualties and damage to homes were also reported in the area.
In the week before 20 July 2026, two children were killed and at least 50 others injured in attacks across Ukraine, UNICEF stated. June 2026 recorded the highest monthly child casualty total since 2022, with seven children killed and 116 injured.
"UNICEF is deeply saddened by reports of two children killed and at least 50 more injured in attacks across Ukraine in the last week," the agency said. It added that it is deeply concerned by the continued killing and injuring of children. "This attack was part of yet another horrifying, sleepless night for children," UNICEF stated.
"These attacks must end. Children and humanitarian facilities must be protected." The agency noted that damage to humanitarian warehouses disrupts the delivery of life-saving support for children and families affected by the war.
