nypost.com —

Russian drone attacks on Kyiv killed two people and injured 23 others, triggering fires and damaging buildings, hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's scheduled address to the UN General Assembly in New York. Zelensky was in New York seeking international support, meeting with European leaders and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and having met US President Donald Trump on Tuesday. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there are no concrete plans for more US-brokered talks, while the Polish military reported a Russian helicopter briefly violated its airspace. The attacks also wounded two men in Zaporizhzhia, where a shopping mall fire spread across 6,000 square meters. Russia claimed its forces struck military-industrial and energy facilities, while its air defenses intercepted over 500 Ukrainian drones.
