Russia and Ukraine exchanged large-scale drone and missile attacks on Thursday, hours after US special envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg for talks on the war.
Ukrainian authorities said Russian strikes killed seven people in Ukraine, according to France 24. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said 15 people were wounded in the capital, eight of whom were hospitalized. He said metro infrastructure near the Pivdennyi Bridge was damaged, restricting traffic, while Ukraine’s air force warned residents of additional ballistic missiles and urged them to remain in shelters.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 630 Ukrainian drones were launched toward Moscow Oblast. Sobyanin said 163 were destroyed while approaching the capital and that two people were injured in Voronovskoye. Monitoring channels also reported that Ukrainian drones and missiles struck the 75th Arsenal, a weapons and military-equipment repair facility in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast. The Kyiv Independent said those reports could not immediately be verified.
The attacks followed Witkoff’s three-hour meeting with Putin. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia was open “in principle” to resuming trilateral talks with Ukraine and the United States in mid-November, with a focus on postwar security. Witkoff described the meeting as constructive but said important work remained. President Donald Trump said the parties were the closest they had been to ending the war.
