The Story in Brief
Russia launched a large ballistic missile attack on Kyiv shortly after midnight on August 5, the Ukrainian Air Force reported. Huge fires broke out across the capital. At least one person was killed and five injured, the city's military administration said. The attack came just days after another Russian strike on Kyiv on August 1 that killed nine people.
Separately, on Monday, a Ukrainian drone attack on industrial and civilian targets in the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk killed at least 13 people, including a child, and injured 39, Russian authorities said. Times Now reports that nearly three dozen missiles may have been used against Kyiv, including North Korean-supplied KN-23 ballistic missiles.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are now hitting cities with impunity, Russia with North Korean-supplied ballistic missiles, Ukraine with drones reaching deep into Russia. The narrative of a clean Ukrainian defence vs. brutal Russian invasion is fraying. Civilian deaths in Nizhnekamsk and Kyiv alike are tragedies. The question is: will the UN Security Council even debate this, or will it be another round of selective outrage?
