All 24 Shahed kamikaze drones launched in several groups overnight from Russia's Primorsko-Akhtarsky District in Krasnodar Krai and Kursk Oblast were shot down, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported on Telegram on Aug. 5.

They were recorded and intercepted by mobile firing groups, anti-aircraft units, and electronic warfare (EW) units over Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.

A series of explosions were reported overnight in Kharkiv.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
