Following a three-day pause in attacks on Ukrainian and Russian capitals, Russia launched strikes on Kyiv, killing at least two people and wounding ten others, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Ukraine's air force claimed to have downed 142 drones, 31 of 32 cruise missiles, and two ballistic missiles launched by Russia. The strikes caused damage in multiple districts of the Ukrainian capital.
Ukrainian officials criticized Russia for launching attacks almost immediately after US President Donald Trump's envoys – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner – visited both countries' capitals. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that Putin's ballistic missiles were louder than his diplomatic words. Russian regional Governor Roman Busargin reported that a Ukrainian drone attack hit civilian infrastructure in Saratov, injuring several people. However, Al Jazeera could not independently confirm these reports.
