Russian Drone Strikes Devastate Odesa and Zaporizhzhia as Ceasefire Disputes Persist

Massive aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities cause civilian injuries, power outages, and fires, highlighting ongoing violations of a U.S.-brokered limited ceasefire agreement.

Russian drone strikes in Odesa injured three people, damaged civilian infrastructure, and caused power outages in three districts, with fires reported at multiple sites.
In Zaporizhzhia, six people, including a child, were injured in Russian aerial bombings, while another attack on Friday night killed three and injured 12, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine intercepted 114 of 214 drones launched by Russia in a massive wave of attacks targeting multiple regions, including Kyiv, Sumy, and Khmelnytskyi.
Russia and Ukraine continue to trade accusations of ceasefire violations, with Moscow blaming Ukraine for the explosion of a gas station in the Kursk region, a claim Kyiv denies.
Diplomatic talks are scheduled in Saudi Arabia to address differing interpretations of the ceasefire, with Ukraine seeking broader protections for infrastructure beyond energy facilities.
