Overnight Ukrainian drone strikes killed three people and injured two in western Russia, local officials said Saturday.
In Penza, a drone hit an industrial site, killing a woman and injuring two others. In Samara, falling debris sparked a fire that killed an elderly man. Another drone strike in Rostov led to a blaze that claimed a security guard’s life, according to Xinhua.
Russia reported downing 112 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Ukraine said it intercepted 45 out of 53 Russian drones.
The strikes came just days after a deadly Russian attack on Kyiv and amid renewed US pressure on Moscow to pursue peace, Xinhua reported.
