At least two people have been killed in overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine, according to Ukraine's Armed Forces. 154 drones were launched over the country, with 148 of them downed.
In the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, a Russian strike on a home has killed a couple and wounded their two children, aged 15 and 11, and four others, according to regional head Ivan Fedorov on Saturday morning.
The attack came hours before expected peace talks to be held in Miami between the United States and Ukraine, according to Ukrainian state media.
On Thursday, an official Ukrainian delegation left for the United States in a push to resume suspended US-brokered talks on ending the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The White House has not yet confirmed any meeting.
Ukraine's armed forces reported five drones striking four locations, as well as debris falling in seven places.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's General Staff of the Armed Forces reported in a social media post on Facebook that Ukrainian forces have struck facilities at the Russian Saratov oil refinery, which produces fuel and lubricants used by the Russian army.
Whilst Russia's defence ministry claims to have downed 283 Ukrainian drones overnight, the regional governor of Belgorod, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said a Ukrainian strike on a social facility has left two women dead and one injured, "Two people have been killed and another one injured in a Ukrainian attack on the village of Smorodino in the Graivoronsky District," Gladkov said on Telegram.
