Russia, Ukraine trade blame for deadly overnight strikes

Crimea blamed Ukraine on Monday for a deadly drone strike, while Kyiv said a Russian attack had killed three people in the country's southeast.

Crimea's regional head Sergei Aksyonov said the incident occurred near the settlement of Foros, where several facilities at the Foros sanatorium and a local school building were damaged.

"The drone attack at the Foros school completely destroyed the assembly hall and severely damaged the library. A security guard was injured," Oleg Kryuchkov, Aksyonov's advisor, said in a Telegram post.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that at about 1630 GMT on Sunday, Ukraine carried out a "terrorist strike" using drones equipped with high-explosive warheads. The ministry added that the attack targeted a resort area of Crimea where there were no military facilities. 

Ukraine said Moscow had carried out 46 air strikes on its territory as of 1900 GMT on Sunday. Kyiv said overnight Russian strikes in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia had killed three people and wounded two others, one seriously. Russian forces had "dropped at least five" bombs on the city, according to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the regional military administration.

After meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin for high-profile talks last month, U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukraine would not be able to regain Crimea as part of a peace deal.

Progress toward a truce has stalled since that flurry of diplomacy, which also saw Trump hold a separate meeting with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
