Russia resumes strikes on Kyiv after three-day pause

Russia resumed strikes on Kyiv early Tuesday after a three-day pause, with strong explosions heard in the capital as the reciprocal truce expired overnight, according to AFP journalists. The military administration reported a missile attack and urged residents to seek shelter, saying air defense was active. Buildings were hit in Kyiv and the Boryspil and Fastiv districts, with smoke and fire visible, marking the first attack on the capital in three nights. The truce had been announced by Moscow and Kyiv to allow a visit by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russian state agency Tass confirmed the moratorium had ended.
