  • A Russian drone and missile attack targeted Kyiv in the early hours of Saturday, killing two people, wounding two dozen and triggering fires in the capital, Ukrainian authorities said. “Russia shot dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles and over 500 drones at ordinary homes, the energy grid and critical infrastructure,” the foreign minister wrote on X. Andrii Sybiha added that Moscow continued to “kill and destroy” while the world was discussing peace plans for the conflict. Earlier, the Kyiv military administration’s head, Tymur Tkachenko, said on Telegram that Russian drones were over the city and had “multiple targets on the capital’s outskirts”, while air defences were responding. Explosions were heard in the city around midnight and continued thorough the night, with the air alert lasting more than nine hours.
