Three people were killed and at least 32 others injured in Russian air strikes on Kyiv overnight, according to the city's mayor Vitali Klitschko. Two high-rise residential buildings were hit, with six of the injured being children. Meanwhile, Moscow reported that two drones heading towards the city were destroyed by its air defenses. Ukraine has faced increased attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure as winter approaches; nearly 1,200 drones have been launched in the past week alone. The conflict began in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, currently controlling about a fifth of Ukrainian territory including Crimea. Despite ongoing ground fighting and diplomatic efforts, there has been little progress towards ending the war.
