Oct 19 (Reuters) – A Russian air strike killed a woman in Ukraine’s Kyiv overnight while also ​hitting a subway station on ‌the left bank of the capital city and damaging a 25-storey residential building, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram ‌on ​Monday.

The attack, which ⁠also saw non-residential ⁠buildings and a medical facility hit, injured three other people in Kyiv, he said. A Reuters witness ​heard explosions in the city.

After a brief pause, the US ⁠has resumed sharing ⁠critical intelligence to help ​Ukraine defend against Russian missile strikes, ​President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, a key ‌to providing warning of the fast-moving missiles that Moscow has fired in waves.

Zelenskiy spoke with US ⁠peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner after the two visited Kyiv earlier this ⁠month ‌as the US administration ⁠tries to mediate a ​deal ‌to end the war ​which Russia ⁠started by invading its neighbour in 2022.
