Zelensky says fourth Kyiv death caused by "six ballistic missiles against civilian infrastructure"
“strike involving six ballistic missiles against civilian infrastructure”
Reported August 8, 2026 by gazetteherald.co.uk. Checked word for word against that report.
Russian attacks killed four people around Kyiv, including a child, as Ukrainian forces struck another Russian refinery. In Brovary district, drones demolished a home, killing two grandparents and their three-year-old grandson and hospitalizing three relatives and a neighbor. Zelensky said Kyiv’s fourth fatality was caused by a salvo of six ballistic projectiles aimed at non-military facilities. Ukraine’s air force reported intercepting 135 of 151 overnight drones. Ukraine faces a critical shortage of Patriot interceptors, and Zelensky has pressed allies for ammunition and tougher sanctions; Kyiv says it shot down roughly 5,300 of about 9,000 Russian drones and missiles last month. Meanwhile, falling drone debris sparked a fire at the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia, injuring five, part of Ukrainian strikes that have caused fuel shortages. Zelensky also began his first official visit to Serbia.
