Ukraine strikes inside Russia as Moscow accused of increasingly brutal attacks

· France 24

Denmark's ambassador to the United Nations has said that Russian strikes have become more brutal. On August 4, the funeral of several Ukrainians killed in a Russian ballistic missile attack a week earlier, including three children, took place. On the other side of the border, what appeared to be a drone hit a busy beach area near the Russian town of Gelendzhik. Seven people were killed according to local authorities, who have blamed the attack on Kyiv.
