Ukrainian attacks on holiday camps in partly Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia kill 11
Key Points:
- Ukrainian attacks on holiday camps in the partly Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region killed 11 people, including four children, according to Moscow-installed officials, while a Russian drone strike in Ukraine’s Sumy region killed three civilians.
- The strikes followed a major Russian attack near Kyiv on Friday that killed at least 10 people and wounded around 100, continuing a cycle of tit-for-tat attacks that undermine prospects for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
- Ukrainian drone attacks hit Russian facilities in western Siberia, including the Tyumen Oil Refinery, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, and a fuel warehouse in Rostov-on-Don, demonstrating Kyiv’s growing long-range drone capabilities.
- U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are scheduled to meet in Washington on Tuesday, while Romania’s defense forces intercepted and shot down a drone that breached its airspace near the Ukrainian border.
- Drone incursions have increasingly affected NATO countries like Romania since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, raising regional security concerns.
