Russia launches war's largest drone attack, Ukraine says
Ammon News - The largest known Russian drone attack since full-scale war began in 2022 killed a woman in the Kyiv region and injured at least three people, Ukrainian authorities said early on Sunday, as Moscow stepped up strikes following peace talks on Friday.
Russia launched 273 drones by 8 a.m. local time (0500 GMT), targeting chiefly the central Kyiv region and the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions in the country's east, Ukraine's air force said.
Based on data provided by the air force, this was Russia's largest drone attack on Ukraine of the war. On the eve of the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 23, Moscow launched a then-record 267 drones.
The sustained overnight Russian drone attack on Sunday killed a 28-year-old woman in the capital region and injured at least three people, including a 4-year-old child, Ukrainian authorities said. Reuters

Trump says Gaza deal ‘very close,'
Ammon News - US President Donald Trump said Friday mediators were 'very close' to reaching a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. 'We'll let you know about it during the day or maybe tomorrow, and we have a chance of that,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. However, Hamas said it was still reviewing a proposal from the US, which it received on Thursday, while adding that the offer failed to satisfy its demands. The group said it was holding consultations with other 'Palestinian factions.' The US proposal stipulates that the sides still need to agree on the parameters of the IDF's partial withdrawal from Gaza during the temporary truce.
