Summary
In the city of Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least one other person died in a “strike involving six ballistic missiles against civilian infrastructure.” In its daily report, Ukraine’s air force said it had downed or intercepted 135 of 151 drones launched by Russia overnight. Following the latest attacks, Zelenskyy appealed on X for more sanctions to “prevent the production of these ballistic missiles,” along with “anti-ballistic capabilities” and “interceptor missiles.” Ukraine’s air defenses shot down around 5,300 drones and missiles last month, Ukraine’s defense ministry said Friday, just under 60% of the around 9,000 attack drones and missiles Russia fired in the same period. Grandparents and grandson killed in Ukraine’s Kyiv region Two grandparents and their 3-year-old grandson were killed after multiple Russian drones destroyed their home in the Brovary district of Kyiv region, northeast of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, early Saturday.
Furthermore, Zelensky in Serbia for talks The latest attacks came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived Friday for his first official visit to Serbia, one of the few European countries that have maintained friendly relations with Russia despite its invasion of Ukraine. “Important talks are scheduled for today and tomorrow,” Zelensky said Friday. Four people, including a child, were killed in Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and the surrounding region, local officials said Saturday, as Ukraine hit another oil refinery in Russia. Ukraine strikes a Russian oil facility In Russia, five people were wounded when a fire broke out at the Ilsky Oil Refinery in the southern Krasnodar region due to debris from a falling drone, local officials said.
In addition, Zelensky has pleaded with other countries, especially the US, to send more of the ammunition made scarcer by the Iran war. The operation has brought a fuel crisis that is embarrassing the Kremlin. Firefighters battle fires at a car garage compound following overnight Russian missile strikes in Kyiv, Aug.
Moreover, Moscow is exploiting Ukraine’s critical shortage of interceptors for the U.S.-made Patriot systems, the sole air defense weapon in its arsenal able to shoot down ballistic missiles.
