Published Aug 20, 05:50 AM UTC

In new Russian attacks on Kyiv and its surroundings, at least six people were killed, according to Ukrainian authorities. The 'massive' strikes hit residential areas, warehouses, a medical facility, and an educational institution. Five people died in Kyiv and 23 were injured, while one man was killed in the Brovary district. In Sevastopol on Russian-occupied Crimea, authorities cut power to prevent grid overloading after Ukrainian attacks on energy facilities. The peninsula has faced power outages and a fuel crisis for weeks, leading to a suspension of tourism until September. Both Russia and Ukraine have intensified attacks, with Moscow using long-range weapons and Ukraine lacking sufficient anti-aircraft missiles.
