Russia Strikes Kyiv With Cluster Warheads, Killing Four

Russia launched multiple ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions on Thursday, killing at least four people and injuring 34 others, including five children, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of using cluster warheads in the strikes. The attacks came hours after Russia released American prisoner Stephen Hubbard and US envoy Steve Witkoff met President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the war. Zelenskyy said three missiles carried cluster munitions, which scatter explosives over a wide area, and criticized the timing as showing no real change in Russia's position. Russia and the US are not parties to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which over 100 countries have banned. Moscow said Ukraine sent 630 drones toward the Russian capital overnight, and both sides continued attacks despite renewed US efforts to revive negotiations.
