KYIV, Dec 23 (Reuters) – Russia launched an early morning air attack on ‍Kyiv on Tuesday, Ukrainian military said, just days after a U.S.-led round of peace talks in Miami ended ‌on Sunday.

“Air defence forces ‌are working to eliminate the threat in the sky over the capital,” the Kyiv military ​administration said on Telegram, urging residents to remain ‍in shelters ​until the all-clear is ​given.

Officials did not immediately report ‍casualties or damage. The full-scale of the attack was not immediately known.

The weekend talks in Miami ‍brought together U.S. officials with Ukrainian and European delegations, alongside separate ‍contacts ‍with Russian representatives, ​as Washington tested whether ​there ⁠was scope for a ‌settlement to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
