Russia launches massive missile and drone attack on Kyiv, killing five and injuring dozens, ending ceasefire

Russia resumed its aerial attacks on Kyiv overnight on September 9, 2026, with a large-scale missile and drone strike that killed at least five people and injured 35. The attack, which damaged residential buildings, a school, and warehouses, marked the end of a brief truce observed during a visit by US peace envoys. Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces used ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones, which are harder to intercept.
