Russian drones killed a three-year-old boy and his grandparents in a village in the Kyiv region, and another person was killed during an overnight ballistic attack on the capital, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on August 8.

Russia in recent months has intensified attacks on Kyiv, while Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities and logistics infrastructure to try to undermine Moscow's ability to wage war.

Both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians in their attacks.

Russia launched six ballistic missiles and 151 drones at Ukraine overnight, the Ukrainian air force said.
