Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's capital Kyiv kill at least nine people and injure another 63.

Russia also attacks additional regions of the country, with Ukraine claiming the attacks included 11 ballistic missiles, 55 cruise missiles, and 145 drones, according to the BBC.

While Ukrainian president Volodimir Zelensky still intends to meet with South Africa's president Ramaphosa to widen the country's foreign partnerships, he says other activities in the country will be canceled because he is returning to Ukraine early following a Russian strike on the capital that killed nine people, BBC reported.

Earlier, US President Trump criticised Zelensky's approach to peace talks.
