On November 7, 2026, drone and missile attacks by Russia struck various locations across Ukraine, injuring at least nine individuals. These attacks occurred as negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. are set to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10, aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. The strikes primarily targeted Kyiv, damaging homes and critical infrastructure, and resulted in power and water outages. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, stating they were intended to exert pressure on Ukraine before the talks. He reported that 36 ballistic missiles were launched, with only four intercepted due to a lack of defense resources. The barrage involved 172 drones, affecting multiple regions and prompting infrastructure closures, including the Northern Bridge in Kyiv. Zelenskyy called for increased U.S. support and stronger sanctions against Russia in response to these aggressive actions.
