Russian drone and missile strikes on Dnipro killed five people and injured 46, with widespread damage to homes and businesses. Additional attacks hit Odesa, while Ukraine struck Russia’s Belgorod region.
Briefing reporters after an hour-long phone conversation between the two presidents, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Moscow will continue to seek a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict but will not leave its root causes unaddressed.
Russia's Defence Ministry in a statement confirmed the attacks, which spanned five airfields. The FPV drones damaged aircraft and sparked fires on air bases in the Irkutsk region.
