Russia launched 24 ballistic missiles at Ukraine, with the Kyiv region as the main target
Attack on Kyiv region SES

On the night of August 5 (beginning at 6:00 p.m. on August 4), Russian occupation forces launched yet another massive combined strike against Ukrainian territory. The Kyiv region was the main target of the air attack.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Air Force.

The enemy used four “Zircon”/“Onyx” anti-ship missiles, 24 “Iskander-M”/S-400 ballistic missiles, as well as 115 Shahed-type attack drones (most of which are jet-powered), “Gerbera,” “Italmas,” and “Parody” decoy drones.

Kyiv and the Kyiv region were the main targets of the occupiers last night.

Air defense forces shot down and neutralized 98 enemy drones, but were unable to intercept any of the launched missiles.

As a result of the attack, missile strikes and 17 strike UAVs were recorded at 26 separate locations, and debris from downed targets fell at 6 locations.

As a reminder, one woman was killed and 24 others were injured as a result of a massive Russian drone and ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on August 5. Fires and damage were reported in four districts of the capital. Rescue workers have already managed to contain the fires in the Obolon, Sviatoshyn, and Desnianskyi districts.

In addition, an enemy strike on a non-residential building in the Holosiivskyi district of the capital damaged an industrial system containing approximately 300 liters of ammonia.
