Russia Hits Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles and Drones, Killing One

Russia fired KN-24 and Iskander-M ballistic missiles — weapons that travel at extreme speeds on a high arc, making them difficult to intercept — alongside cruise missiles at Kyiv shortly after midnight on August 5, 2026. Ukrainian authorities said one woman died and at least 12 were wounded. Strikes hit homes, warehouses, and critical infrastructure. Mayor Klitschko said people may be trapped under rubble. The attack continues a sustained bombardment of Kyiv throughout July.
