Russia's mass strike on Kyiv and surrounding Oblast on Aug. 5

Russia attacked Ukraine overnight into Aug. 5 with four Zircon/Onyx anti-ship missiles and 24 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles. Ukraine's air defenses did not intercept any of them.

Seventeen people were killed in Kyiv and surrounding Oblast, while 44 others were injured. Russia primarily targeted civilian warehouse facilities, while also striking infrastructure and a railway station.

In Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district, an ammonia leak occurred after a missile struck a nonresidential area. Warehouse facilities and other nonresidential buildings caught fire in other parts of the capital. The large fires caused heavy smoke and deteriorating air quality across the city. According to the State Emergency Service, one person was killed and 15 others were injured.

Ukraine's state railway operator, Ukrzaliznytsia, said people were killed at a railway platform in Brovary, and several trains were rerouted following the overnight attack.
