Nine dead and more than a dozen injured in new Russian attacks in Kyiv
Eight people have died and five more have been injured in Kyiv, three of whom were children
BarcelonaNine people have died and more than a dozen have been injured in Russian airstrikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region this Tuesday, according to Ukrainian authorities, on the sixth consecutive day of attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
Eight people have died and five more have been injured in Kyiv, three of whom were children, and fires have broken out in several parts of the capital, according to emergency services on Telegram.
In Boryspil, in the Kyiv region, one person has died and nine more, including one child, have been injured after missiles and drones damaged a residential building and a business facility, as reported on Telegram by Governor Tymur Tkachenko.
Daily Russian attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region disrupt the lives of millions of people. Air raid alerts have covered most of Ukrainian territory during the early hours of Tuesday.
Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine's border areas, as well as on energy and logistics facilities, and on Tuesday a new attack disrupted border crossings to Romania—a member of the European Union and NATO—at Orlivka, on the Danube River.
In Russia, a drone attack caused a fire in the port area of Ust-Luga, a major export hub in the northwest of the country, while Moscow repelled the drones.
In the Russian region of Samara, where there are several large oil refineries about 800 kilometers southeast of Moscow, an airstrike damaged civilian facilities, according to the local governor on Telegram.
Zelensky receives American envoys
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, declared on Monday that he had held a "detailed and constructive" conversation with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, envoys of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and that the parties were working to finalize the dates of his visit to Ukraine with the aim of boosting peace efforts.
On the same day, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the war had to end "for the sake of humanity." The Kremlin leader stated that Moscow "is moving along this path."
The conflict has led some NATO members, especially those bordering Russia, to strengthen their military capabilities, also due to the intensification of drone incidents in border areas.
NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission briefly scrambled fighter jets in Latvia, and Finland has restricted air and sea traffic near Russia, as reported separately on X by the armed forces of both countries, while drones flew over the Russian region of Leningrad, where Ust-Luga is located.
The Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsahkna, whose country also briefly issued an aerial threat alert this Tuesday, thanked on an X post NATO's "swift and exactly as expected" reaction in deploying fighter jets.
