The strikes caused new power and water outages in Kyiv and disrupted traffic across a bridge over the Dnipro River, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack underscores the continuing military pressure before the planned negotiations, while Ukraine is seeking additional air-defense support, including Patriot interceptor missiles. Separately, dozens remain missing after a deadly Russian strike on a former school and humanitarian aid site in southern Ukraine, where at least 55 people were reported killed.
