hs.fi (Hausa)

Russia struck Kyiv overnight Tuesday, injuring six people and damaging at least two residential buildings, according to Reuters and AFP. The attack ended a three-day pause in strikes on the Ukrainian capital. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported multiple explosions and said Russia used ballistic missiles, urging residents to take shelter. The overnight assault caused the injuries and property damage. Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the pause last Saturday ahead of visits by US peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for Ukraine war negotiations. Russia's state news agency Tass confirmed the pause has ended.
