Thick black smoke engulfs buildings on the outskirts of Kyiv following a Russian ballistic missile attack on the capital on August 5, 2026 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukraine’s air force said in a post to Telegram that Russia launched 115 drones and 28 missiles — 24 ballistic missiles and four anti-ship missiles — into the country overnight, of which 98 drones were intercepted. None of the missiles were shot down, the air force said citing “preliminary data,” reporting missile and drone impacts across 26 locations. Zelenskyy said in a post to Telegram that the “massive” and “devastating” attack killed at least 17 people. At least another 44 people were injured in the attack, Zelenskyy added.
