Russian strikes on Kyiv kill at least two, Ukrainian officials say
Russian airstrikes on Kyiv killed at least two people and injured ten early Tuesday, according to the city’s emergency service. Authorities reported damage to residential buildings and vehicle fires. The attacks followed an agreed three-day pause in strikes on both countries’ capitals during diplomatic visits. Russia’s Saratov regional governor separately reported buildings hit by Ukrainian drones. The renewed attacks underscore continuing civilian exposure; casualty and damage accounts come from the respective authorities.
