Overview
- The World Health Organization confirmed a warehouse in Dnipro was destroyed by a strike on Friday, Aug. 7, after WHO staff and drivers evacuated about 130 of roughly 300 pallets and no casualties were reported.
- Ukrainian officials reported fresh overnight strikes on Odesa, Kharkiv and Zhytomyr that caused deaths and injuries and damaged energy, residential and port infrastructure.
- Russian regional authorities said a Ukrainian drone attack on Belgorod killed five people, underscoring the cross‑border exchanges that have escalated civilian harm on both sides.
- WHO Director‑General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus condemned the attack and the agency says it has verified 3,148 attacks on health care in Ukraine since February 2022, which have killed and injured hundreds.
- Humanitarian agencies warn the destroyed supplies will slow deliveries to frontline hospitals, deepen shortages of essential medicines, and strengthen Kyiv’s appeals for expanded sanctions and air‑defense support.
