news18.com —

Missile explosions struck Kyiv early Saturday, wounding at least five people, as Ukraine prepared for new talks with Russia and the US scheduled for Tuesday in Abu Dhabi. The attack damaged homes, commercial properties, and energy facilities, causing power and water outages. The upcoming negotiations, brokered by the Trump administration, would be the fourth round following talks in Geneva in February. Russia's Defence Ministry confirmed it targeted the Northern Bridge and an industrial facility producing Flamingo missiles, while Western governments seek a new formula to break the impasse on unresolved territorial and security issues. Separately, the death toll from a Monday strike on an aid centre in Komyshuvakha, southern Ukraine, rose to 55, with dozens still missing. A Ukrainian drone attack also killed one person in Russia's Belgorod region, while Moscow reported shooting down 411 Ukrainian drones overnight across 10 regions.
