In a series of overnight drone strikes, Russia and Ukraine have exchanged attacks, resulting in at least five fatalities. Kyiv officials reported that a significant Russian drone strike hit two residential buildings, killing two and injuring six others. Fires broke out, leading to evacuations and disruptions in electricity and water supplies. Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported three deaths from a Ukrainian strike in the Rostov region, with additional injuries. These strikes come as Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed optimism about proposed amendments to a US peace plan aimed at resolving the conflict. Despite this, a Kremlin official dismissed the changes as unconstructive. The ongoing military actions highlight the fragile state of peace talks as both nations continue to engage in hostilities.
