Russian drones strike Ukraine’s southern city of Zaporizhzhia, with officials saying the attack comes a day after Kyiv forces fired more than 1,000 drones at targets in Russia. Both outlets describe the strikes as part of ongoing near-daily drone warfare between the two countries.
The reports link the violence to wider international attention, noting that Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are set to meet. RTE and Jowhar both characterize the situation as continuing with little evidence of progress toward ending the wider war, which began more than four years ago after Russia invaded Ukraine. Neither source provides additional details on casualties, specific sites hit, or the meeting agenda, focusing instead on the timing of the drone attacks and the announcement of the leaders’ meeting.
