Russia launched an attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing three people, in a residential area.
A Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia has killed at least three people and wounded 12 others, according to local officials.
Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Saturday the previous night’s attack set ablaze residential buildings, cars and communal buildings. Photos showed emergency services scouring the rubble for survivors.
The attack came as delegations from Russia and Ukraine are set to hold separate meetings with US officials in Saudi Arabia on Monday in an ongoing bid to halt the three-year war.
Ukraine and Russia agreed this week in principle to a limited ceasefire after US President Donald Trump held separate calls on consecutive days with the countries’ leaders, but what actual targets would be off limits to attack remains contentious.
The three sides appeared to hold starkly different views about what the limited truce covered. While the White House said “energy and infrastructure” would be part of the agreement, the Kremlin declared that the agreement referred more narrowly to “energy infrastructure”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would also like railways and ports to be protected.
