Authorities in Ukraine said a Russian drone and missile attack on the capital, Kyiv, killed at least 13 people, including a 6-year-old boy

A series of drone attacks targeted industrial facilities in Russia's Ryazan, Penza, and Samara oblasts overnight on Aug. 2, according to local media and regional officials.

Russian drone strikes on Ukraine have hit an all-time high, an AFP analysis showed Friday, as Kyiv held a day of mourning after one of the deadliest attacks on the capital left 31 dead. The large-scale aerial assault during the early hours of July 31 capped a month that saw Russia launch more drones at Ukraine than in any month since it launched its 2022 invasion.
