Moscow drone attack on Kyiv kills three ahead of ceasefire talks

A Russian drone attack on Kyiv resulted in at least three fatalities, including a five-year-old child, and ten injuries, according to local officials. The assault occurred just ahead of U.S.-mediated ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. The air raid alert lasted for over five hours, with drones targeting residential buildings across several districts. Debris from the drones caused significant fires in residential and commercial properties, notably in the Dnipro and Holosiivskyi districts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the delegation would meet with U.S. officials prior to the negotiations. This incident underscores the ongoing violence in the region, complicating efforts towards peace talks.
