The overnight strikes damaged homes, commercial properties and critical infrastructure, including a bridge in Kyiv, according to Ukrainian authorities and reporting by The Associated Press. Russia said it targeted Ukrainian military-industrial, energy and transport facilities. The planned negotiations represent a renewed diplomatic effort, but major disputes over territory and security guarantees remain unresolved, making the attack a significant test of whether diplomacy can advance while fighting continues.
