The attacks renewed pressure on Kyiv as diplomatic activity continued around possible US-mediated negotiations. France 24 and Clarín reported that Moscow had signaled it was open to resuming trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States. The Kremlin, however, expressed reservations about proposals from Ukraine and European governments.
Donald Trump said negotiations were closer than ever to ending the war, according to France 24 and Clarín. Those assessments were reported alongside the overnight strikes, underscoring the contrast between diplomatic signals and continued attacks on Ukrainian cities.
The available reporting identifies Kyiv as the location hit by the Russian missile attacks. The reports establish that at least six people were injured, but the supplied evidence does not establish the exact number of missiles involved, the extent of property damage or whether the overnight strike caused fatalities.
France 24 reported that residents were forced into shelters, while Clarín said Ukraine’s air force warned of additional ballistic missiles directed toward Kyiv and told residents to remain in shelters. The shelter warnings were part of the response to the continuing threat during the overnight attack.
The reports also described attacks affecting the Moscow region, although those figures come from a single source. Clarín reported, citing Russian authorities and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, that 630 drones were launched toward the region and that more than 160 were intercepted near Moscow. Clarín further reported that two people were injured in the drone attacks.
Clarín separately reported that Russian attacks in Ukraine killed at least four people on Wednesday, including two in Kyiv. That reported death toll concerns attacks described for Wednesday and is separate from the six injuries reported in connection with the overnight Kyiv strike.
Taken together, the reporting shows continued violence alongside stated interest in reviving negotiations. Moscow’s openness to talks and Trump’s assessment of the diplomatic moment were reported at the same time as missile strikes in Kyiv, while the Kremlin’s reservations indicate that the reported signals do not amount to an agreed settlement.
