Summary

  • At least five people were injured in overnight missile strikes on Kyiv, with blasts damaging homes and commercial buildings as Ukraine prepared for Tuesday talks with Russia and the United States in Abu Dhabi.
  • The attack also hit energy facilities in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, worsening power shortages and disrupting the capital’s heating and water systems.
  • Traffic on a bridge over the Dnipro River was closed after the strikes, adding transport disruption to the latest pressure on Kyiv’s infrastructure.
  • In southern Ukraine, rescuers in Komyshuvakha recovered two more bodies after Monday’s guided-bomb strike on an aid site, where 55 people have been confirmed dead and dozens remain missing.
  • The Abu Dhabi meeting will be the fourth Trump administration-brokered round this year, with Western backers still searching for a formula to overcome deadlock on territory and security.
