Ukraine And Russia Exchange Overnight Strikes

The exchange in strikes between Ukraine and Russia caused widespread damage including fires, energy outages, and civilian casualties.

Ukraine and Russia have exchanged large cross-border drone strikes overnight despite current peace talks.

U.S. mediated peace talks between Ukraine and Russia concluded in Abu Dhabi Tuesday, resulting in an agreement in principle for a large-scale prisoner exchange, though major disagreements remain over territory, a ceasefire, and post-war security guarantees.

Before the talks concluded without a breakthrough, both countries exchanged strikes. The actions caused widespread damage including fires, energy outages, and civilian casualties.

Russian authorities say they intercepted 150 Ukrainian drones while Ukraine claims Russia launched 160 strike drones at them, intercepting 144 of the aerial targets.
