Russian forces launched a major missile and drone attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, and several other regions.
The strikes occurred just hours before Ukrainian President Volododymr Zelenskyy is scheduled to hold a critical meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The attack is seen as a significant escalation ahead of the high-stakes talks between the two leaders. Air defense systems were activated in Kyiv to intercept the incoming weapons.
No further details on casualties or damage from the latest assault are currently available. The meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump is expected to focus on U.S. support for Ukraine's war effort.
