Russian Drone Strikes on Kyiv Kill Three, Including Child, as Peace Talks Begin

The attacks targeted residential areas, causing multiple casualties and fires, while negotiations for a ceasefire are underway in Saudi Arabia.

Russia launched 147 drones across Ukraine overnight, with Kyiv being one of the hardest-hit areas, resulting in significant civilian casualties and destruction.
Three people, including a five-year-old child, were killed, and ten others, including an eleven-month-old baby, were injured in the strikes on Kyiv.
Residential buildings in Kyiv were struck, sparking fires and necessitating extensive emergency response efforts to rescue trapped residents.
The attacks coincide with peace negotiations mediated by the US in Saudi Arabia, though expectations for progress remain low due to ongoing hostilities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for increased Western support, including more air defense systems, to counter Russia's intensified focus on civilian targets.
