On the night of July 31, Kyiv suffered another massive shelling, which caused destruction, casualties, and ongoing searches for victims under the rubble.

This was reported by Jewish.news.

One of the targeted locations was the Alley of the Righteous in Babyn Yar, a memorial complex recognized by UNESCO as a cultural site under enhanced protection.

This incident marks the third attack on the Babyn Yar area since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The first shelling occurred on March 1, 2022, resulting in the deaths of five civilians, including a child, and igniting international outrage.

Babyn Yar serves as a symbol of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and embodies the lessons of history and humanity.

The attack on the Alley of the Righteous is considered a war crime against cultural heritage and collective memory.
