A drone from the aggressor country was circling over the market in the city of Kherson, targeting a civilian man who was simply selling vegetables.

As a result of Russian shelling of energy infrastructure, as of the morning of August 3, some consumers in six regions of Ukraine were temporarily without power.

In the first seven months of 2026, Russian attacks destroyed 37 gas stations belonging to the Naftogaz Group’s network. Some of the facilities have been repaired, while the rest remain destroyed and out of service.

A Russian attack drone struck a gas station in the Kyivskyi district of Kharkiv. A fire broke out at the scene, and all relevant emergency services are on the scene.

Russian forces carried out an airstrike on Zaporizhzhia. Preliminary reports indicate one fatality and 11 injuries. A private home, high-rise buildings, and warehouse facilities were hit.

In total, eight people were killed as a result of the shelling during the month, including one child, and another 217 people, including 24 children, were injured.
