According to a report by France 24, missile attacks were launched by Russia on Kyiv during the night from Friday to Saturday. Authorities stated that the energy infrastructure was targeted in this attack and at least five people were injured. Missile explosions early in the morning in the capital caused damage to residential buildings and commercial properties. Due to this attack, traffic was suspended on a bridge in Kyiv over the Dnipro River, and new electricity and water cuts were imposed, according to national and city authorities.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated that energy facilities in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions were damaged as a result of the enemy's nighttime attack. The electricity supply situation in the capital has become extremely difficult, affecting the city's heating and water supply systems.
This attack comes at a time when Ukraine is preparing for upcoming negotiations with Russia and the US. Negotiators from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States are scheduled to meet next Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, to hold a new round of fresh negotiations aimed at ending the war. This new round of negotiations, mediated by the Trump administration, will be the fourth, following the recent round previously held in Geneva in February.
Western governments supporting the peace initiative are seeking a new formula to break the deadlock, acknowledging that territorial and security issues remain unresolved. Additionally, the report stated that Ukraine and the battlefield are seeing extensive use of drones by Russia and Ukraine.
On the other hand, relief operations continued in the village of Komyshuvakha near the front line in the Zaporizhzhia region of southern Ukraine, which collapsed on Monday when Russian guided bombs struck a former school and a nearby shelter while residents were waiting for humanitarian aid. The death toll in this attack on the aid distribution center has risen to 55, with two more bodies pulled from the rubble early Saturday morning, and dozens of people still missing.
