#Russian airstrikes

Russian forces launched a combined missile and drone attack across Ukraine overnight on August 16, striking a book market in Kyiv and industrial facilities in Kryvyi Rih. Two people were killed and at least 16 others were injured across the two cities.

Russia launched more than 200 drones alongside ballistic, anti-ship, and anti-radiation missiles at Ukraine overnight on August 9, with the main focus of the attack on the Odesa region.

Russia launched a combined overnight attack against Ukraine using ballistic missiles, S-400 surface-to-surface missiles, and 151 attack and decoy drones, killing three civilians—including a young child—in the Kyiv region, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 135 drones.

Russia launched 27 ballistic missiles at Ukraine overnight, making Kyiv the primary target. The attack killed at least nine people and wounded 30, including four children, as Ukrainian officials warned that a shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles left most of the ballistic threat unanswered.
