Russia Kills 17 in Kyiv Missile Strike as Ukraine Intercepts Zero Ballistic Missiles

Russian forces killed at least 17 and wounded over 40 in a 5 August 2026 missile and drone assault on Kyiv. Ukraine's air force downed 98 of 115 drones but intercepted none of the missiles — a result of depleted Patriot interceptor stocks. Zelenskyy said "ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed" and called for new G7 and EU sanctions on Russia's missile production.
