Russian missile strike on Kyiv injures two, damages homes

aljazeera.com —

Russian forces launched a missile attack on Kyiv on Saturday, injuring two civilians and damaging residential buildings, according to Ukrainian officials. The strike came after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Russia was preparing new attacks on energy targets and infrastructure. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported explosions in the capital's suburbs, with debris striking a five-storey apartment building in a western district and damaging another residential building and a kindergarten. Officials warned of potential further strikes hours after the attack. The assault occurred three days before US-led Ukrainian-Russian talks were set to open in Abu Dhabi, following President Donald Trump's Thursday statement that a deal may be imminent after meeting Putin's envoy. Zelenskyy has sought Western guarantees on post-war security support.
