(Kyiv, 3rd) The Kyiv Military Administration reported that Russia launched a missile attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv in the early hours of Sunday (August 3), with related information posted via the official Telegram channel.
Reuters reporters on the scene in Kyiv heard loud explosions after midnight, with powerful shockwaves rippling across the entire city.
According to AFP, on Saturday (2nd), the Ukrainian Security Service stated that Ukrainian forces carried out drone strikes inside Russian territory, targeting military facilities and gas pipelines. Russian sources claimed the attack resulted in three deaths and two injuries.
The Ukrainian Security Service added that these strikes were carried out on Friday (1st) evening by long-range drones, focusing on a military airfield in southwest Russia. Reportedly, the strike caused a fire affecting Iranian-made Shahed drones stored at the airfield, which the Russian military has long relied on for attacks against Ukraine.
At the same time, Ukrainian drones also hit a company called “Elektropribor” in Russia’s southern Penza region. The Ukrainian Security Service said this company is part of Russia’s military-industrial system, specializing in digitized military networks, aviation equipment, armored vehicles, and ships. Russian sources stated this attack resulted in the death of a woman and injured two others.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that from Friday night to Saturday morning—a period of about nine hours—Russian air defense systems shot down a total of 112 Ukrainian drones, 34 of which were destroyed over Rostov Oblast. The Russian side emphasized this air raid was "unprecedented in scale," as Russian forces shot down incoming drones in seven different regions.
