Kyiv battles fires after Russian Strikes

An explosion lit up the night sky over Kyiv in footage released on Thursday, as Russian strikes hit the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of October 22.

Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said strikes hit two districts on the eastern side of the Dnipro River, which divides the city.

Authorities said 15 people were wounded and subway infrastructure on the Southern Bridge was damaged, prompting traffic restrictions. Firefighters battled multiple fires following the attacks.

The strikes followed another attack on Wednesday evening that wounded six people.

The latest assault came as US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin in efforts to end the conflict.
