Ukraine-Russia
Russia ends 3-day halt? Kyiv hit by missiles and drones, 3 dead
Russia targeted Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with missiles and drones on Tuesday, killing three people and injuring 16 others, according to media reports.
The attacks came a day after US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the region for peace talks.
Explosions were heard across Kyiv early Tuesday local time, according to a CNN reporter in the Ukrainian capital, signalling the end of an agreed three-day halt to attacks during the US envoys’ visits to the capitals of both countries.
The attack involved ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, CNN reported, citing Ukrainian Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Russian drone struck a building housing the We Are Ukraine television channel, which is part of the United News telethon.
“It happened in broad daylight – while journalists were live on air. The building was partially destroyed. All necessary services are working at the site. State Emergency Service personnel have already extinguished the fire. As of now, five people have been reported injured. Unfortunately, that number may still rise,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
The latest attacks came amid ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with US officials holding talks with both sides.
