> Ukrainian authorities say at least 17 people were killed in the latest wave of Russian missile and drone attacks. The overnight barrage is described as the newest in a series of large-scale strikes that have become almost routine during the summer. Kyiv says it failed to intercept a single Russian missile. Ukrainian officials also accuse Russia of deliberately hunting civilians with small drones, a charge denounced by Zelensky as a “safari” attack.
