Russian Missile Attack on Kyiv Damages Homes, Injures Two

usnews.com —

Russian forces launched a missile attack on Kyiv early Saturday, damaging residential buildings and injuring two people, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The strike targeted infrastructure with ballistic missiles in the capital's suburbs. Debris hit a five-storey apartment building in a western district, and another residential facade was damaged, along with a kindergarten building. Officials warned of potential further strikes hours later, following President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's statement that Russia was preparing new attacks on energy targets and bridges. The attack came three days before US-led talks involving Ukrainian and Russian negotiators were set to open in Abu Dhabi, seeking to resolve the 4-1/2-year-old war. The last such talks occurred in February.
