Eight people were killed overnight into Aug. 5, in a Russian ballistic missile strike on the Kvitneva railway station in the Brovary district of Kyiv Oblast, according to Vitalii Bihun, head of the Brovary District State Administration, speaking on the United News telethon.

The victims had been waiting for a train.

"Last night the train was slightly delayed, people didn't make it onto their last train — as of now, eight deaths are confirmed," he said.

Roughly five locations across the Brovary district sustained damage in the overnight strikes, including warehouses belonging to the Fozzy retail chain and other companies. 12 people were injured and are being treated in hospitals, Bihun added.

Ukrainian Railways earlier reported that bodies were found overnight on a railway platform in the Brovary district, near logistics centers that were hit in the Russian attack.

Across Kyiv Oblast overall, 14 people were killed and 22 injured overnight, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. Rescuers reported large-scale fires at warehouses in the Brovary, Bucha, and Fastiv districts.

Overnight, Russia attacked Ukraine with four Zircon/Onyx anti-ship missiles, 24 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, and 115 drones. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 98 of the drones.
