The attack, reported on 9 September 2026, hit the Ukraine-Moldova border area.

Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv killed two people overnight, local authorities said Tuesday, while a Russian-installed official in annexed Crimea said a Ukrainian attack killed two people there. The attacks ended a weekend pause in strikes on each other's capitals that coincided with a renewed push by U.S. envoys to narrow differences between Moscow and Kyiv, according to the Associated Press.

At least two people were killed after Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv early on Tuesday, according to BBC World. Air raid alerts and the sounds of explosions were reported across Ukraine's capital as the attacks took place. The incident is the latest in a series of Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities. Further details on casualties or damage were not immediately available.

One person was killed and two others injured in a Ukrainian attack on Russian-occupied Crimea, according to Moscow-installed officials. This incident occurred as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held separate calls with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding efforts to end the ongoing war, which has now lasted five years.

At least three people have been killed in drone strikes in Horlivka, a city controlled by Russian forces. The strikes reportedly targeted a multi-storey apartment building, which Russian-installed authorities attributed to a Ukrainian drone attack.

Russian attacks have caused significant destruction across various regions of Ukraine, impacting infrastructure and civilian areas. The ongoing conflict has led to widespread damage, with reports detailing the extent of the devastation. The situation remains critical as the conflict continues to escalate, affecting the lives of many Ukrainians.
