Russian Missile Strike Hits Kyiv, Injuring Six

Russia launched missile and drone strikes on Kyiv overnight on September 8, causing fires and damage across multiple districts, with at least six people reported injured. Debris fell on residential buildings in the Solomensky district, and a fire broke out at an educational facility in the Holoseyevsky district. Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko confirmed casualties and damage, including blocked residents in a house, while the Kyiv City Military Administration reported debris hitting a five-story building and fires in garages and non-residential zones. Separate drone attacks late September 7 targeted industrial sites in the Boryspil and Fastov districts of Kyiv region, destroying seven trucks. The strikes came as US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left Kyiv after talks, with President Volodymyr Zelensky expressing readiness for trilateral negotiations involving the US, Ukraine, and Russia. The Kremlin said it was open to resuming such talks but gave no timeline.
