Russia Launches Deadly Strikes on Kyiv, Ending Pause During US Envoy Visits

Russia has resumed deadly airstrikes on Kyiv, resulting in at least two fatalities and seven injuries, and damaging residential buildings. This marks the end of a three-day pause in attacks on the Ukrainian capital, which coincided with visits by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for talks in Moscow and Kyiv aimed at de-escalating the conflict. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone strike reportedly caused damage to civilian infrastructure in southwestern Russia.
