Russian missile strike on Kyiv injures two ahead of peace talks

A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv injured at least two people and damaged a kindergarten building, according to preliminary reports from the city's military administration. The overnight strike was announced by Mayor Vitali Klitschko, who reported explosions in the capital's suburbs. Debris from the attack fell on a five-story residential building, and another apartment block's facade was damaged. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned hours earlier that Russia was preparing to target energy infrastructure, bridges, and other key sites. Authorities continued to alert residents about the risk of further missile and drone strikes. The attack comes days before peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow are expected to resume in the UAE on November 10-11, with Washington's mediation. Previous talks in February were fruitless, though US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about a potential deal to end the nearly five-year war.
