Russia resumes strikes on Kyiv after three-day halt
The attack followed a three-day halt tied to U.S. peace talks and damaged more than 14 high-rise buildings, officials said.
- On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, Russia resumed massive missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, killing at least two people and damaging residential buildings after a three-day pause tied to U.S. envoy visits.
- U.S. peace envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff concluded their diplomatic visit on Sunday after holding talks with Russian and Ukrainian leaders; attacks resumed immediately upon their departure, ending the three-day moratorium.
- The Ukrainian Air Force reported Russia fired at least 12 ballistic missiles, 32 cruise missiles, and 166 Shahed-type drones, with half reportedly jet-powered, striking 54 locations across the capital.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attack as "horrific" and "senseless terror," while Poland launched preventive aviation operations, forcing temporary suspension of flights from Lublin Airport.
- Despite the high-profile diplomatic sprint, the immediate resumption of hostilities suggests tactical pauses have failed to alter the fundamental trajectory of the ongoing air war between Russia and Ukraine.
