At least 14 people were killed in renewed reciprocal attacks between Ukraine and Russia on Sunday, officials from both countries said. Ukrainian attacks killed at least nine people in Russia, while Russian strikes killed at least five people in Ukraine. The report was published on August 3, 2026, amid a war that has continued for about four and a half years.

In Russia's border region of Belgorod, four people were killed in a Ukrainian attack, including a 13-year-old girl who was injured near a playground. Two people died in a drone attack in Saratov, near the Kazakhstan border, and three were killed when another Ukrainian drone struck a vehicle in Udmurtia. Acting Governor Olga Abramova called that incident senseless and cruel.

Russian attacks killed two people in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region and two more in separate strikes in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, local authorities said. A Russian attack destroyed a postal transport terminal in Kharkiv, killing a Nova Poshta employee. UN data says civilian casualties in Ukraine have risen significantly this year, while US-mediated talks have been stalled since February.
