Summary

Early Thursday, November 12, explosions were heard in Kyiv, with Ukrainian air defenses engaged against incoming ballistic missiles fired by Russia. Reports describe a series of blasts in the capital and fires at several sites on Kyiv's left bank, though the extent of damage is unclear. Russia said it shot down five drones bound for Moscow and struck military, energy and munitions sites in Ukraine, including a depot in Kyiv. The attacks came one day after Abu Dhabi peace talks ended with an agreed prisoner exchange but unresolved disagreements on major issues, and as US envoys were due in Moscow to meet President Putin.
