Russian forces resume strikes on Kyiv, killing two
Russian forces struck Kyiv with missiles overnight on September 8, damaging administrative buildings, warehouses, schools, and residential buildings in six districts of the city, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Two people were killed and 10 were injured, two of them in serious condition, doctors said.
Russian forces used missiles of various types and jet-powered drones, which are harder to shoot down, to strike Kyiv, the Ukrainian Air Force Command reported.
Russian forces had not attacked Kyiv since September 5–7, as U.S. presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prepared for and carried out their visit to Ukraine.
