Russia fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv early on 12 November, hours after a second round of US-brokered peace talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi ended the previous day without a ceasefire, the Kyiv Independent reported. A Russian drone later killed a 44-year-old woman and injured 5 others at an apartment block in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, the Kyiv City Military Administration said; the city has begun switching off street lighting to save electricity after repeated strikes on the power grid.
Other strikes this week included a missile attack on a garage complex in Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district that wounded one person, and a drone strike on a market in Chornomorsk that killed 3 people and injured 11 on 11 November, regional officials said. A drone attack on 10 November killed workers at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and a nearby thermal plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency said, while emergency power cuts hit Kyiv and the Vyshhorod and Bucha districts the same day. Italy's governing coalition split over a new military aid package for Kyiv after a minister delayed signing it, Euronews reported.
