At least 10 people have been injured in a Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he expects talks with United States envoys in the coming days.

Kyiv’s military administration said on Thursday that 10 people, including a child, had been injured in the evening attack, while Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the injured included six medical personnel.

The military administration initially said one person had died in the attack, but later said the report had proved untrue.

In a message on Telegram, Klitschko said that the ninth floor of a high-rise residence had been damaged, adding that 15 people had been evacuated from the building in a district just outside the city centre.

Video published on unofficial Telegram channels showed a large fireball rising skywards. Unofficial channels said the building had been struck by a jet-powered drone.

Local media said new explosions later jolted the city. An air raid alert remained in effect more than two hours after it was imposed.

Klitschko said six people had been wounded in earlier strikes on the capital, which has been subject to more than a week of sustained attacks.

Ukraine’s state oil and gas company Naftogaz announced that Russia also attacked its production sites. In a statement, it said the attack caused significant damage to equipment, though it did not give a location.

Meanwhile, one person was killed and five others injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a bus in Horlivka in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region, reported the Interfax news agency.

The bus was hit in “a targeted drone attack”, Interfax said, citing Ivan Prikhodko, the city’s Russian-installed mayor.

Al Jazeera could not independently verify the assertion. Ukraine and Russia both deny targeting civilians.

One person was killed and four others injured in a separate drone attack on a passenger bus in Russia’s Belgorod region, local authorities reported.

Meetings in Moscow and Kyiv

The attacks came as Zelenskyy said he hoped to host US President Donald Trump’s envoys in Kyiv in the coming days to resume efforts to end the Russian invasion.

Diplomatic efforts to end Russia’s four-and-a-half-year war on Ukraine have stalled in recent months as the US has shifted its focus towards its war in the Middle East.

“We expect to see the envoys of the president of America here in Kyiv. We have confirmation from them,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly address.

“They will have meetings in Moscow and in Kyiv. We are counting on a meeting in the coming days,” he added.

Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been involved in shuttle diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine.

While they have travelled to Moscow multiple times, they have never been to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy said that “tentative dates have been set” for the envoys’ first visit to the Ukrainian capital.

In July, Zelenskyy said he had spoken with Witkoff and Kushner “to reinvigorate diplomacy and bring peace closer”.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has turned into Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, killing thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of troops since 2022.

另据报道，一架乌克兰无人机在俄罗斯控制的戈尔利夫卡地区击中一辆公共汽车，造成一人死亡，五人受伤。

俄罗斯袭击乌克兰首都基辅，造成至少 10 人受伤。乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，他预计将在未来几天与美国特使举行会谈。

基辅军方周四表示，当晚的袭击造成 10 人受伤，其中包括一名儿童；而市长维塔利·克利奇科表示，伤者中包括 6 名医务人员。

军方最初称袭击中有一人死亡，但后来又表示该报道不实。

克里琴科在 Telegram 上发消息称，一栋高层住宅楼的九楼遭到破坏，并补充说，位于市中心外一个地区的这栋楼里有 15 人已被疏散。

在非官方 Telegram 频道上发布的视频显示，一个巨大的火球冲天而起。非官方频道称，该建筑物是被一架喷气式无人机撞击的。

当地媒体报道称，随后又发生了新的爆炸，震动了这座城市。空袭警报发布两个多小时后仍然有效。

克里琴科表示，此前首都遭受的袭击造成六人受伤，首都已连续一周多遭受袭击。

乌克兰国家石油天然气公司（Naftogaz）宣布，俄罗斯也袭击了其生产设施。该公司在一份声明中表示，袭击对设备造成了重大损坏，但并未透露具体地点。

与此同时，据国际文传电讯社报道，一架乌克兰无人机在乌克兰顿涅茨克地区俄罗斯控制的霍尔利夫卡镇击中一辆公共汽车，造成一人死亡，五人受伤。

国际文传电讯社援引该市由俄罗斯扶植的市长伊万·普里霍德科的话说，这辆公交车是“遭到有针对性的无人机袭击”而被击中的。

半岛电视台无法独立核实这一说法。乌克兰和俄罗斯均否认以平民为袭击目标。

据当地政府报道，俄罗斯别尔哥罗德州一辆客车遭到无人机袭击，造成一人死亡，四人受伤。

在莫斯科和基辅举行的会议

就在泽连斯基表示希望在未来几天在基辅接待美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的特使，以恢复结束俄罗斯入侵的努力之际，发生了这些袭击事件。

近几个月来，随着美国将重心转移到中东战争，旨在结束俄罗斯对乌克兰长达四年半战争的外交努力陷入停滞。

泽连斯基在晚间讲话中说：“我们预计美国总统的特使将访问基辅。我们已经得到了他们的确认。”

“他们将在莫斯科和基辅举行会晤。我们期待在未来几天内举行会晤，”他补充道。

特朗普的特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和总统的女婿贾里德·库什纳一直参与俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的穿梭外交。

虽然他们多次去过莫斯科，但从未去过基辅。

泽连斯基表示，特使首次访问乌克兰首都的“暂定日期已经确定”。

7 月，泽连斯基表示，他曾与维特科夫和库什纳交谈，“以重振外交，加速和平进程”。

俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争已演变为二战以来欧洲最严重的冲突，自 2022 年以来已造成数千名平民和数十万士兵丧生。
