Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Overnight Russian attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed at least 4 people, one of which was a 3-year-old child, officials said Saturday.
Two of boy's grandparents were also killed in the strike from Russian drones in the Brovary district of the Kyiv region, northeast of the capital city. Four others -- the boy's 15-year-old brother, his parents and a neighbor -- were injured as they tried to help the three. They were all hospitalized.
In Kyiv, the city's military administration said one other person was killed and four others wounded.
Ukraine's air force reported that it had downed or intercepted 135 of 151 drones launched by Russia overnight. The attack also involved six ballistic missiles and other guided missiles, CBS News reported.
