Russia attacks Kyiv with ballistic missiles hours after peace talks end
Attacks against the capital are ongoing, and details about precise targets are not yet available.
Russia unleashed ballistic missiles on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, just hours after the conclusion of U.S.-mediated peace talks in Abu Dhabi on November 12. The negotiations came to an end without any significant progress. The explosions in Kyiv were reported around 1 a.m., as per journalists covering the scene. Just a few minutes prior, Ukraine's Air Force had issued a warning that Russian ballistic missiles were targeting the region.
Another series of loud explosions was subsequently reported to the northwest, less than 30 minutes after the initial strikes. The attacks on the city are still ongoing, with details about the specific targets remaining unclear. Since the beginning of winter, Russia has been bombarding Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with constant assaults on energy and transportation infrastructure. Despite the peace talks in Abu Dhabi, the only concrete outcome announced was a prisoner exchange.
