STORY: Russian strikes around Ukraine's capital of Kyiv killed fourteen people, injured 27 and damaged warehouses overnight, emergency service officials said on the Telegram messaging app. Air raid alerts lasted for more than an hour across the capital of 3 million, where the military administration said seven sites were pummelled in an assault that began after midnight. On Wednesday (August 5), the Russian defence ministry said it had hit logistic hubs and supply centres in Kyiv and surrounding areas, accusing them of being used for military purposes. The Kyiv military administration said the attack caused an ammonia leak that emergency crews were tackling. Reuters witnesses heard explosions throughout the city. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defence units scrambled to repel the assault. Russia has stepped up attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks, with several in the past month. In Russia, Ukraine hit a logistics hub of Russian online retailer Wildberries, adding to more than a dozen it has damaged recently. Reuters could not independently verify all the reports. Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the war triggered by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
