hotnews.ro (Romanian) —

Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv overnight, severely disrupting electricity and water supplies, wounding several people, and damaging a key bridge, according to Ukrainian officials. The strike came hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that intelligence indicated preparations for new attacks on energy infrastructure, bridges, and civilian sites. Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the situation as "extremely difficult" as crews work to restore services. The attack occurred three days before US-mediated negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are set to begin in Abu Dhabi, following a failed round in Geneva in February.
