Kyiv Down Just One of 27 Russian Missiles as Air Defense Runs Out

Russia fired 27 missiles at Kyiv on August 4, 2026. Ukraine's defenses stopped only one. Seventeen people died. President Zelensky said Ukraine's Patriot missile system — a set of weapons designed to shoot down incoming missiles in flight — has no ammunition left. He said those interceptors "could have saved the lives of those killed." A leading U.S. think tank confirms the stockpile is essentially gone.
