Ukrainian TV channel building hit by Russian drone as five killed in Kyiv

BBC World · 1 hour ago

A Russian drone struck the headquarters of Ukrainian TV channel We Are Ukraine in Kyiv on Tuesday, injuring at least five people while journalists were broadcasting live. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as a "new page in Russian degradation" and renewed his appeal for allied support, as the strike formed part of a wider wave of Russian missile and drone attacks that killed at least five people in the capital and struck a passenger train in southern Ukraine, killing a female employee.

Overnight explosions across Kyiv killed three people and injured 25, damaging residential buildings in the Solomianskyi district and setting vehicles alight in Podilskyi, with residents sheltering in metro stations as has become routine. The attacks came despite Russia and Ukraine having agreed a three-day halt on strikes against each other's capitals while US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Kyiv; those talks ended without major breakthroughs, and Zelensky said he now expects the war to continue into winter. BBC Verify analysis found Kyiv is experiencing more daily air raid alerts than at any point since the full-scale invasion began.
