Russia Strikes Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles After 3-Day Ceasefire Ends

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 8

Summary

  • Kyiv came under ballistic and cruise missile attack Tuesday, damaging residential buildings in two districts, sparking fires and trapping people inside one apartment block, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
  • The strike landed just after a three-day ceasefire expired and days after U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Kyiv and Moscow to revive stalled peace talks.
  • Witkoff said the trip produced substantive progress, including movement toward additional trilateral talks, as the Trump administration presses for a framework to end the war.
  • The renewed attacks underscored how fragile that diplomacy remains: Ukrainian officials said Russian strikes killed multiple people and wounded dozens across the country over the past day, while Russia said a Ukrainian drone hit civilian infrastructure in Saratov.
