Ten injured in Ukraine as Kyiv expects talks with US envoys in coming days

What the report says

At least 10 people were injured in a Russian attack on Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials cited by Al Jazeera. Kyiv’s military administration said a child was among the wounded, while Mayor Vitali Klitschko said six medical workers were hurt. The city authorities initially reported one death, then withdrew that claim after it proved inaccurate. Officials said a high-rise building was damaged and residents were evacuated from an area near the city centre, while local media reported additional explosions and a continuing air raid alert.

Al Jazeera also reported that Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz said Russian strikes damaged some of its production facilities, though it did not specify the location. Separately, Interfax reported that a Ukrainian drone hit a bus in Horlivka, a Russian-controlled part of Donetsk region, killing one person and injuring five others. Al Jazeera said it could not independently verify that account, and noted that both sides deny targeting civilians.

The attacks came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expects to meet envoys from US President Donald Trump in Kyiv in the coming days. He said the meetings would also include stops in Moscow and Kyiv and suggested dates had been tentatively set. According to the report, Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have been involved in shuttle diplomacy, but have not previously visited Kyiv. The developments underscore both the continuing pressure on Ukrainian cities and the limited progress in recent peace efforts.
