Major Missile and Drone Attack on Kyiv
Early Thursday, Russian forces launched a devastating missile and drone strike on Kyiv, resulting in at least nine fatalities and over 60 injuries, marking the deadliest attack on the city since last summer. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Kyiv was the primary target among nearly 70 missiles and 150 drones aimed at various Ukrainian cities, prompting him to cut short a visit to South Africa. The attack coincides with heightened tensions in the ongoing conflict, as peace talks falter amid U.S. policy shifts and demands for a controversial settlement favoring Russia.
