Kyiv hit by Russian missiles and drones after talks signal; 1 dead, 22 hurt

A Russian missile-and-drone attack hit Kyiv overnight into Thursday, October 22, killing one person and injuring 22, including four children, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service as cited by [RBC-Ukraine](https://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/ataka-rf-kiyiv-e-zhertva-ta-22-postrazhdalih-1792646940.html) and the [Associated Press](https://apnews.com/article/5eef1c7dc4cc401dd8de85f718574877). The emergency service reported damage to homes, transport infrastructure and other civilian sites across several districts. These are early figures and may change as assessments continue. The attack came hours after Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said Vladimir Putin had agreed “in principle” to resume three-way talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States after November 10, the AP reported. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed further talks but was cautious. No meeting date or venue has been announced, and the Kremlin statement did not announce a ceasefire. The overnight strikes show that the diplomatic signal has not yet changed the immediate risks faced by Kyiv residents. The next questions are whether the proposed talks are formally scheduled and whether Kyiv's casualty and damage toll changes as emergency crews finish their work.
