Russian drone and missile barrage over Kiev/ One person dies, hundreds left

A barrage of Russian drones and missiles over Kiev and its suburbs on Saturday killed one person, injured several others and knocked out heating and electricity for hundreds of thousands of people in Ukraine, which is bracing for freezing winter temperatures.

An airstrike lasted for several hours after loud explosions overnight, some accompanied by bright flashes that turned the sky orange, according to AFP reporters in Kiev.

The attack killed a 47-year-old woman, said Kyiv regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk.

"There are already 19 people affected in the capital. Eleven people have been hospitalized," said Kiev Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko. He added that 2,600 residential buildings and hundreds of kindergartens, schools and social buildings had lost heating.

"As of this morning, part of the left bank of the region remains without electricity. Currently, more than 320,000 customers are without power," Kalashnyk added.

The Ukrainian air force announced an airstrike across the country early Saturday and said drones and missiles were moving over several Ukrainian regions.

The attack came ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's meeting with US President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday to discuss a proposed plan to end the fighting that has killed tens of thousands of people since 2022.

Russia accused Zelensky and his supporters in the EU on Friday of seeking to "destroy" the US-brokered plan.

The latest plan is a 20-point proposal that would escalate the fighting on the current front line but pave the way for Ukraine to withdraw troops from the east, where demilitarized buffer zones could be created, according to details revealed by Zelensky this week. /REL
