Russian attacks on Ukraine's capital killed at least nine people and wounded more than two dozen others, local officials said on August 1, 2026 , with strikes damaging homes and causing fires across the city. As Moscow has increased its long-range strikes on Ukrainian towns and cities, Kiev has pressed its allies for air defence support. The United Nations found June 2026 was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022. (Photo by Genya SAVILOV / AFP via Getty Images)
