Early on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv faced a 'massive' assault from Russian missiles, resulting in hits on various buildings, city officials reported. On Telegram, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, "A mass attack on the capital is still underway." He noted strikes on both residential and non-residential structures on either side of the Dnipro River that divides the city.

Missile fragments fell near two residential buildings in one district, but no fire broke out and no casualties were reported. Emergency medical teams were dispatched to the area. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital's military administration, reported at least one hit in an eastern suburb.

Reuters witnesses heard explosions resounding in the city. Meanwhile, the southeastern city of Dnipro also endured an attack, according to regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha on Telegram. Some private homes and cars were damaged, though there were no signs of casualties.

Air raid alerts remained active in both Kyiv and Dnipro well after midnight. Officials provided no further details on damage or injuries.

A large-scale Russian drone and missile attack damaged power facilities in eight Ukrainian regions on Saturday, causing blackouts, forcing nuclear plants to cut output and disrupting rail services, according to Ukrainian authorities and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Russia carried out a large overnight air attack into Saturday, launching more than 400 drones and about 40 missiles aimed at Ukraine’s energy sector, Ukrainian officials said. The strikes hit power generation and electricity distribution infrastructure and prompted emergency power cuts and a request for electricity assistance from Poland as temperatures were forecast to fall in coming days.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the Russian drone and missile attack on Kiev shows Russia does not want to end the war. He spoke before departing for the United States, where he is to meet Donald Trump to discuss a peace plan. The assault killed at least one person in the capital and its surroundings.

Now in its fifth day since U.S. and Israeli strikes began on Iran on February 28, the conflict has escalated with exchanges of missiles and drones across the region, including Gulf states, as fears of broader war intensify. Three days of funerals for assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have begun in Iran, while U.S. President Donald Trump claimed strikes have 'destroyed almost everything' and Iran vowed no negotiations.

The recent Ukraine summit in Florida between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy builds on prior talks, such as the Berlin meeting, but reveals persistent challenges. With little progress amid Russian intransigence, European leaders are urged to bolster support to prevent a Ukrainian defeat.

The massive containment building over Ukraine's Chornobyl nuclear reactor, installed in 2016, has been damaged amid Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine. This structure, designed to seal in radiation from the 1986 disaster, now shows signs of violation. Global radiation-monitoring networks ensure quick detection of any potential leaks from such sites.

As Operation Epic Fury continues into its fifth day, U.S. and Israeli strikes have hit over 1,000 Iranian targets, sinking warships and crippling communications, but Iran retaliated, killing four U.S. service members. Political backlash grows with polls showing majority opposition and pushes for congressional oversight amid rising oil prices.
