Russian ballistic missile strike kills at least 15 in Kyiv, injures dozens

On the night of 4‑5 August 2026 Russia launched a large‑scale attack on Kyiv and its surrounding region, firing 24 ballistic missiles, four cruise/hypersonic missiles and about 115 drones. Ukrainian air‑defence systems failed to intercept any of the missiles. The strikes hit residential districts, warehouses, logistics centres and a warehouse that suffered an ammonia leak, causing extensive fires.

Casualty figures vary across reports, but officials said at least 15 people were killed and dozens more were wounded, with some sources citing up to 21 deaths. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that a warehouse near the city centre was destroyed and rescue teams pulled two people from the rubble. The attack prompted President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to blame the shortage of US‑made Patriot interceptor missiles for the high civilian toll and to urge partners to accelerate deliveries. NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte discussed urgent additional air‑defence support with Zelenskyy.

The incident underscores the ongoing intensity of the Russia‑Ukraine war and the growing demand for advanced missile‑defence capabilities.
