On Saturday, Aug. 8, Russian drone strikes targeted a passenger train in Sumy and civilians in Kherson. In Sumy, a UAV struck the locomotive of a Sumy-Kyiv passenger train, but no casualties were reported. The Russian forces conducted multiple drone attacks in Kherson, injuring at least four civilians. One drone attack in Kherson's Korabelny district injured two people, and another struck the Stritenska and Komkova streets intersection, injuring two others.
Authorities urged residents to avoid the area due to high drone activity. Kherson witnessed a separate drone strike on Friday evening, Aug. 7, which injured four medical workers and a police officer. This incident led to a war crimes investigation. The drone strikes follow a deadly overnight barrage that killed four people, including a three-year-old boy, in Kyiv and three people in Brovary, with a home destroyed.
