Russian missile and drone barrage kills 17, injures dozens in Kyiv and surrounding region

A large-scale Russian ballistic missile and drone attack targeted Ukraine's capital and Kyiv Oblast overnight into August 5, 2026, killing at least 17 people and injuring 44. The strikes hit civilian businesses, logistics hubs, and a railway station. Ukraine's Air Force reported that none of the 24 ballistic missiles were intercepted, though 98 of 115 drones were shot down or suppressed. President Zelenskyy attributed the high casualties to delays in air defense deliveries.
