War in Ukraine

On the night of August 6, the Russian military carried out four strikes with guided bombs against civilian infrastructure in the city of Sumy. Three people were killed and 19 others were injured in the Russian attack across the region.

On the night of August 6, Ukraine continued to launch long-range strikes against Russian territory. In Yaroslavl, fires broke out following the activation of Russian air defense systems, and local residents are reporting an attack on an oil refinery.

Destroying russian launchers will help reduce attacks on Ukraine, its critical infrastructure, and the civilian population. The military knows they need to do this, and they will do it.

In 2026, deliveries of anti-ballistic missiles and air defense systems from allies fell by two-thirds compared with the same period last year.

Ballistic missile strikes by the Russian Federation are becoming more frequent just as rapidly as statements by Ukrainian officials about the upcoming “most difficult” winter. At a time when Ukraine needs autonomy in defending its airspace more than ever, U.S. President Donald Trump is casting doubt on the transfer of licenses to manufacture missiles for the Patriot air defense system.

All fires that broke out in the capital as a result of Russian shelling on the night of August 5 have been completely extinguished. Emergency services have also confirmed that the search for people trapped under the rubble has been completed.

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.

During a combined Russian attack on the night of August 5, logistics infrastructure in the Kyiv region was damaged. Emergency services are currently on the scene, and restoration work is underway.

In the Russian city of Aleksin in the Tula Region, explosions and a large-scale fire were reported on the night of August 5. According to preliminary reports, the fire engulfed the Wildberries distribution center.

Damage and fires were reported in the Bucha, Brovary, and Fastiv districts of the region.
