Russia resumes strikes on Kyiv following US envoy peace mission

Russia has resumed intensive missile and drone strikes on Kyiv following a three-day pause intended to facilitate diplomatic efforts. The resumption of hostilities occurred shortly after US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff concluded meetings with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In Kyiv, the strikes caused significant damage to residential buildings, schools, and clinics, with officials reporting at least two deaths and multiple injuries. Mayor Vitali Klitschko noted that some residents remain trapped under the rubble of damaged structures. The Ukrainian Air Force reported intercepting 142 drones, 31 cruise missiles, and two ballistic missiles during the overnight operations, though officials warned that missile interception stocks have reached critical levels.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted civilian infrastructure in Saratov, Russia, causing damage and injuries. In response to the increased Russian aerial activity, the Polish military initiated preventive operations to secure its airspace, leading to temporary flight suspensions at Lublin Airport. While the US envoys described their discussions as meaningful, the renewed attacks underscore the volatility of the conflict as both sides continue to target infrastructure.
