Authorities reported at least two deaths and eight injuries, though casualty figures vary, with some reports indicating one death and three injuries. Damage included high-rise residential buildings, businesses and infrastructure. Airports in Moscow, Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod temporarily suspended operations.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry labeled the strike a “terrorist attack,” and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov alleged drones hit civilian areas.
How has Ukraine responded?
Ukraine’s military did not immediately comment on the strikes. However, Ukraine’s air force reported intercepting 79 of 126 drones launched by Russia in an overnight counterattack.
Kyiv has maintained that its strikes focus on military targets inside Russia, aiming to disrupt supply lines and logistical hubs.
Will peace talks continue?
Despite the escalation, U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators are set to meet in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to discuss a potential ceasefire.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. expects Ukraine and Russia to make concessions, without specifying what each side must yield.
Ukrainian officials have rejected any deal involving surrendering territory or lacking security guarantees against future Russian aggression. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, March 10, reiterated that Ukraine remains committed to diplomatic efforts but will not accept a peace deal dictated by Moscow.
What does the US want from Ukraine?
The Trump administration pushed Ukraine to agree to a minerals-sharing agreement, which President Donald Trump framed as a way to offset the cost of U.S. aid.
Washington recently froze military support and limited intelligence sharing while negotiations continue.
Zelenskyy’s team proposed a partial ceasefire, covering long-range air strikes and naval attacks. Rubio acknowledged the idea but said it alone would not be enough to end the war.
