A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Voronezh has resulted in one death and three injuries, according to local officials. The attack occurred on Saturday, with debris from a downed drone falling on a house, killing a young woman in hospital overnight.
Regional Governor Alexander Gusev reported that more than ten apartment buildings, private houses, and a high school were damaged. Air defence systems shot down 17 drones over Voronezh, a city of over one million people located approximately 250 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.
The strike followed a large-scale Russian bombardment of Ukraine on Friday, which involved hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, killing at least four people in Kyiv. Russia also deployed a new hypersonic missile, the Oreshnik, for only the second time in the nearly four-year war, striking western Ukraine in a warning to Kyiv and NATO.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that negotiations with the United States are ongoing, with chief negotiator Rustem Umerov in contact with US partners. Ukraine's General Staff reported that Russia launched 154 drones overnight into Sunday, of which 125 were shot down.
