Russia launched heavy overnight drone and missile attacks on Kyiv that Ukrainian officials said killed at least two people and wounded more than 40, timed around President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s United Nations appearances, Times of India live updates and related wire coverage reported.

Zelenskyy argued at UN venues that partners must target Russia’s ability to finance the war through oil, gasoline, diesel, and ports—not civilian objectives—and renewed appeals for Patriot batteries strained by the parallel Iran conflict. NATO aircraft scrambled in Poland and Romania amid the barrage; officials said they found no airspace violations.

Moscow claimed strikes on military-industrial and energy targets and said it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones. Accounts agree Kyiv was hit hard before Zelenskyy’s diplomatic push; they diverge on casualty tallies and whether energy-revenue sanctions can move faster than battlefield attrition.

Officials and independent outlets continue updating confirmed details as they become available. NewsHabit’s card sticks to multi-outlet confirmation for this edition and notes where accounts still diverge, without projecting outcomes that the published record does not yet support. Readers should treat timed deadlines, hearings, and launch windows as live until a second independent outlet confirms a change.

Both sides of contested claims are preserved in the agreement and conflict fields so the homepage card does not collapse disagreement into a single narrative voice.
