Russia says 4 killed; Ukraine reports hospital hit

Russia said Friday that its air defences intercepted and destroyed 1,198 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Ukrainian authorities reported Russian attacks that killed at least three people and damaged a hospital.

Russia's defence ministry said the Ukrainian drones were downed over more than 15 Russian regions. Local authorities in the southern Volgograd region said four people working in an industrial zone, home to an oil refinery and a chemical factory, were killed.

In Ukraine, officials said a Russian attack damaged a hospital in Kyiv, started a fire and forced people to shelter. One person was wounded.

Odesa regional governor Oleg Kiper said two people were killed and five wounded in the overnight barrage, which also damaged private homes and cars.

Acting Zaporizhzhia regional governor Mykhailo Semikin said a Russian attack killed a 17-year-old boy in the southeast. He said four people rescued from rubble were wounded.

Officials also said a strike hit Rivne, a northwestern city far from the front line, damaging a kindergarten and wounding six people, including two children.

The attacks came after US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, then travelled to Dublin to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as part of US-led efforts to end the war.
