Russian barrage kills 10 in Ukraine as Zelenskyy heads for talks with Turkish leader
Russian barrage kills 16 in Ukraine city as Zelenskyy heads for talks with Turkish leader
A large Russian drone and missile barrage pummeled a western Ukrainian city, killing 16 people, emergency services said Wednesday (November 19, 2025), as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Turkey for top-level talks to try to muster diplomatic support against Russia's invasion of his country.
The nighttime attack hit two nine-story apartment blocks in Ternopil, located around 200 kilometres from the Polish border, according to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. Emergency crews were sifting through the rubble in daylight to find any survivors, he said. At least 66 people, including 16 children, were injured, authorities said.
Russia fired 476 strike and decoy drones, as well as 48 missiles of various types, at Ukrainian targets overnight, Ukraine's air force said. The bombardment included 47 cruise missiles, with air defences intercepting all but six of them, the air force said. Western-supplied F-16 and Mirage-2000 jets intercepted at least 10 cruise missiles, it said.
“Every brazen attack against ordinary life indicates that the pressure on Russia (to stop the war) is insufficient,” Mr. Zelenskyy wrote on the messaging app Telegram.
The Ukrainian leader said he would meet with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan later Wednesday as part of his efforts to diplomatically isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin and bring more international pressure to bear on him.
Mr. Putin has so far resisted making compromises, despite US pressure.
“Foremost, we will discuss maximum capabilities to ensure that Ukraine achieves a just peace,” Mr. Zelenskyy said of his talks with Erdogan, adding that the leaders have “good relations.” vZelenskyy also said: “We see some positions and signals from the United States, well, let's see tomorrow.” He didn't elaborate but tough new American sanctions on Russia's oil industry, devised to push Putin to the negotiating table, are due to take effect on Friday.
A senior Turkish official initially said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff would join Zelenskyy in Turkey, but backtracked later in the day and said Witkoff wouldn't be coming. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity Tuesday because he wasn't permitted to speak publicly about the arrangements.
The Ukrainian city of Ternopil sits in a part of relatively peaceful western Ukraine, where many people from the east and south moved to as they fled danger along the front line.
Almost 50 people were injured in Russian strikes on three other Ukrainian regions.
Russia's Defence Ministry said it attacked Ukrainian energy facilities and military-industrial targets, including long-range drone depots, in retaliation against strikes by Kyiv on Russian territory.
Two Eurofighter Typhoon jets and two F-16s were scrambled in Romania when a drone entered the NATO member's airspace during the Russian attacks, Romania's Ministry of National Defence said.
The Polish military said that Polish and allied aircraft were deployed in the middle of the night as a preventive measure. Poland's Rzeszów and Lublin airports were closed temporarily to prioritise military aviation, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency said.
In northeastern Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, Russian droned injured 46 people, including two girls, the head of the regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, wrote on Telegram. Drones hit several city districts, at least 16 residential buildings, an ambulance station, school and other civilian infrastructure, he said.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry said Wednesday that Ukraine fired four American-supplied ATACMS missiles at the Russian city of Voronezh on Tuesday. All four were shot down, the ministry said, but the debris damaged a private house, an orphanage and a gerontology centre. There were no casualties, the ministry said.
Ukraine's General Staff on Tuesday reported firing ATACMS missiles at Russia without offering details.
