At least eight killed in latest Russian attacks on Ukraine
At least eight people were killed and 18 were injured after Russian missile and drone attacks struck Ukraine overnight on Thursday, Ukrainian officials said. Forty-five Shahed-type drones were launched as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles overnight, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Twenty-four of the drones were reportedly downed, while strikes were recorded at 12 locations. Four people were killed and six were injured after strikes on residential areas and infrastructure in Kherson, according to its regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin. Three others were killed in Donetsk and one in Kharkiv with several injured, local officials said. At least seven people were also injured after heavy shelling in the Sumy region, including a 7-year-old child, Ukrainian media reported. Across the border in the Russian city of Volgograd, Kyiv officials say Ukrainian drones struck a Lukoil refinery overnight into Thursday, causing severe fires. The refinery is owned by Russian oil giant Lukoil. The Ukrainian military said it had targeted the site because it supplies fuel to Russian forces. Volgograd regional governor Andrey Bocharov said there were no casualties. Russia's defence ministry said on Thursday that it had destroyed or intercepted 44 Ukrainian drones overnight, including nine over Volgograd. Euronews could not independently verify these claims.

Russia Downs Over 120 Ukrainian Drones Overnight: Defence Ministry
Russian air defence forces shot down roughly 120 Ukrainian drones overnight, Russia's Defence Ministry said. "During the past night from 20:00 (1700 GMT) on August 9 to 06:10 Moscow time (0310 GMT) on August 10, air defence duty forces destroyed and intercepted 121 fixed-wing Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles," the ministry said in a statement. The ministry added that over 34 drones were downed on Sunday, from 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) to 3 p.m. (1200 GMT), including one over the territory of the Moscow Region, as reported by Xinhua news agency. One person was killed due to falling drone debris in the Saratov Region, the region's governor said on Telegram. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Air Force reported on Sunday that Russia launched an attack overnight using 100 combat and decoy drones, with air defence systems shooting down 70 of them. Earlier on August 4, 2025, Russian air defence forces repelled a large-scale drone attack targeting Volgograd region's transport and energy infrastructure overnight, regional authorities said. "There were no casualties," Volgograd Governor Andrey Bocharov said in a post on social media. Bocharov said that debris from intercepted drones damaged a high-voltage power line, disrupting the electricity supply to the town of Ilovlya and nearby settlements. Emergency repair crews were dispatched to restore power. In the town of Frolovo, a fire erupted at a technical building in the Archeda railway station, prompting temporary train suspensions as explosive ordnance disposal teams neutralised an unexploded drone that had landed on the tracks.
