At least nine people were killed and over a dozen injured in Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region early Tuesday, Ukrainian officials said, marking the sixth consecutive day of strikes on the capital. Explosions rocked the city from 2:23 a.m. local time, with air raid sirens sounding for the third time since late Aug. 31. A ballistic missile strike hit a railway depot in Kyiv, killing seven people, including six Ukrzaliznytsia employees, according to local authorities .
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its forces targeted military and energy facilities in Kyiv and Odesa, though the assertion could not be independently verified. Ukrainian officials reported fires in multiple districts, including the Darnytskyi and Solomyanskyi areas, where drone debris caused damage and injuries .
Ukraine retaliated with drone strikes deep inside Russia. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said more than a dozen drones were intercepted en route to the capital, while authorities in the Sverdlovsk region reported damage to three apartment buildings in Yekaterinburg, injuring four people . A Ukrainian drone attack also damaged the Ust-Luga port in Leningrad Oblast, according to regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko .
The escalation came as U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on the sidelines of the G20 in Asheville, North Carolina, the first in-person Russian attendance at the forum since the 2022 invasion. European officials, including German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, protested Russia’s inclusion, with Klingbeil refusing to pose for a group photo with Siluanov . The U.S. and Russia discussed President Donald Trump’s Ukraine peace plan and economic growth, according to a Treasury spokesperson .
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he held a “detailed and constructive” call with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to finalize dates for their visit to Kyiv for peace talks . Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine “for the sake of humanity” during a meeting in Kyrgyzstan on Aug. 31 .
NATO scrambled fighter jets in response to the attacks, while Finland and Latvia restricted air and maritime traffic near Russian borders. Reports also emerged of cluster munitions being used in Kyiv Oblast, with footage showing impacts from Iskander-M ballistic missiles . Ukrainian authorities filed charges in absentia against a Russian general and colonel over strikes on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv and Reuters journalists in Donetsk .
