At least four people killed in Russia as Ukraine launches retaliatory strikes

Ukraine launched a large-scale retaliatory drone attack involving nearly 600 unmanned aerial vehicles across 14 Russian regions, Crimea, and the Black and Azov Seas overnight, resulting in at least four deaths (three in the Moscow region and one in Belgorod) and multiple injuries, according to Russian authorities. This strike comes in response to Moscow's three-day offensive on Ukraine last week that killed over 20 people, including three children in Kyiv, and follows the end of a brief truce marked by mutual accusations of violation; diplomatic efforts to resolve the four-year conflict remain stalled.
