Russia resumes missile attacks on Kyiv after brief pause

On September 8, 2026, Russia resumed missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, ending a three-day pause in strikes. The attacks came shortly after a visit by U.S. envoys to the region, killing at least three people and injuring 16 others. One strike caused a roof collapse, and two bodies were found in the rubble. The pause had been seen as a possible truce, but Russia resumed strikes before the expected deadline.
