Russia Attacks Kyiv With Missiles and Drones, Killing One Woman

Russia fired powerful guided missiles — weapons that travel faster than sound and are very hard to stop — at Kyiv shortly after midnight on August 5, 2026, Ukrainian authorities said. One woman died and at least 12 were wounded. The strikes hit homes, storage buildings, and essential services like power and water across the capital. Mayor Klitschko said people may be trapped under rubble. The attack continues weeks of repeated strikes on Kyiv.
