Russia renewed its ballistic missile campaign against Kyiv early Tuesday, launching a wave of missiles at the Ukrainian capital, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The report states that the attack ends a ceasefire that had held for several days following the arrival of U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow.
The overnight attack was first reported by The Zioneer at 00:25 Jerusalem, when impacts and fires were observed across the city. At 05:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a heavy Russian bombardment that struck multiple targets, with reports describing it as occurring after failed peace talks with the envoys. The new report by N12 now specifies that the assault involved ballistic missiles and marks the end of the brief lull in hostilities.
As The Zioneer reported on Saturday, September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kyiv as Witkoff and Kushner landed in Moscow for negotiations. That ceasefire now appears to have been broken with the overnight barrages. The attack is part of a broader pattern of intensified Russian aerial campaigns against the Ukrainian capital, which The Zioneer has documented since August 2026, including multiple waves of ballistic missiles and drone strikes.
No details on casualties or damage from the latest attack have yet emerged.
