Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv kill one, wound 22 after peace talks deal

abcnews.com —

Russian attacks on Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones killed one person and wounded 22 overnight into Thursday, Ukrainian authorities said. The strikes came hours after the Kremlin agreed to restart U.S.-brokered peace talks. The attack damaged homes, transportation infrastructure, and civilian sites across several districts, with one death and six injuries, including a child, in the Dniprovskyi district. Russia agreed "in principle" to three-way negotiations after Nov. 10, following a Putin meeting with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed the talks but remained cautious, saying "We’ll see what happens this time" shortly before missile alerts sounded over Kyiv. The agreement follows U.S. midterm election timing.
