At least four people, including a child, were killed in Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv and surrounding regions early Saturday, August 8th, 2026. Moscow has been conducting near-daily attacks, taking advantage of Ukraine’s stretched air defense capabilities.

In response, Ukraine struck another oil refinery in Russia, continuing its campaign of long-range attacks targeting Russian energy facilities. This effort aims to exacerbate a growing fuel crisis in Russia.

France 24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze provided the latest updates on the situation.
