Kyiv Attack
Kyiv's military administration reported that 10 people, including a child, were injured in the Russian attack on Thursday evening. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the injured included six medical personnel and that the ninth floor of a high-rise residence was damaged. Fifteen people were evacuated from the building in a district just outside the city centre. Video on unofficial Telegram channels showed a large fireball, and local media reported new explosions jolting the city. An air raid alert remained in effect more than two hours after it was imposed.
Drone Strikes on Buses
One person was killed and five others injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a bus in Horlivka in the Russian-controlled part of Donetsk region, Interfax reported. Interfax cited Ivan Prikhodko, the city's Russian-installed mayor, as saying the bus was hit in a targeted drone attack. Al Jazeera could not independently verify the assertion. One person was killed and four others injured in a separate drone attack on a passenger bus in Russia's Belgorod region, local authorities reported.
Diplomatic Meetings
Zelenskyy said he hopes to host US President Donald Trump's envoys in Kyiv in the coming days to resume efforts to end the Russian invasion. He said in his nightly address that the envoys will have meetings in Moscow and Kyiv, and that Ukraine has confirmation from them. Diplomatic efforts to end Russia's four-and-a-half-year war on Ukraine have stalled in recent months as the US shifted focus towards the Middle East.
