Russian drone attack kills two in Ukraine ahead of talks in US, officials say

Russia conducted a drone attack on Ukraine that killed at least two people, with two children aged 11 and 15 also injured in the strike on Zaporizhzhia, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack occurred as diplomatic efforts were underway, with talks scheduled to take place in the United States. The timing underscores the continued intensity of Russia's aerial campaign against Ukrainian civilian areas despite ongoing peace discussions. Zaporizhzhia, a southeastern Ukrainian region, has been repeatedly targeted throughout the war. The strike demonstrates the persistent threat civilians face even as political negotiations advance.
