Russia, Ukraine ramp up drone attacks overnight despite truce talks
Russian bombardments in eastern Ukraine ramped up overnight, killing two people, as Ukraine hit Russia's Engels military airfield in the country's southwest region of Saratov with drones. Both Russia and Ukraine stepped up aerial attacks in the early hours of Thursday as United States President Donald Trump pushes both sides to agree to a ceasefire after more than three years of fighting. Ukrainian officials in the northeastern Sumy and Kharkiv regions said two people were killed and several others injured after Russia dropped more than three dozen glide bombs on the towns in the border regions. Russian drone attacks on the town of Kropyvnytskyi, hundreds of kilometres from the front line, wounded 14 people and damaged rail infrastructure. 'Kropyvnytskyi underwent the most massive enemy attack. Peaceful residential buildings were destroyed,' regional governor Andriy Raikovych said. The Ukrainian Air Force said that the Russian barrage, including on Kropyvnytskyi, consisted of 171 drones, of which 75 were shot down. Another 63 were downed by electronic jamming systems or were lost. Elsewhere, Ukraine struck Russia's Engels airbase in the Saratov region with attack drones overnight, causing a fire and explosions in the area, the Ukrainian military said on Thursday. The airbase hosts Russian strategic bombers that are used to attack Ukraine and also has a warehouse holding cruise missiles and glide bombs, an official at the Security Service of Ukraine said. 'It is significant because … the city is home to Russia's strategic bomber fleet,' said Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari, reporting from Moscow. 'This is not the first time this area has been targeted, but this is the biggest attack seen so far [since the start of the war in February 2022]. A state of emergency has been declared.' Regional authorities said 10 people were injured in the attack. Jabbari also noted that 30 civilian homes and the city's main hospital sustained damage. 'According to Russia's defence ministry, this is another sign that Ukraine is not serious about a peace settlement,' she said. commitment to a 30-day halt of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He did not, however, agree to a full ceasefire. 'It's only a partial ceasefire, concerning the energy infrastructure of each country. And it hasn't yet been implemented. The details will be fleshed out when negotiations take place in Saudi Arabia [in the coming days],' said Al Jazeera's Assed Baig, reporting from Kyiv. 'For now, fighting continues,' he added. 'The red line for Ukraine is that they will not recognise occupied Ukrainian territories as part of the Russian Federation. So, we are still some way off until the end of the war.' Peace talks expected soon On Thursday, the Kremlin said that more US-Russia talks could take place on Sunday or early next week, as Washington is also due to hold talks with Kyiv in Saudi Arabia in the coming days. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Europe must continue to give strong backing to Ukraine regardless of any talks between Washington and Moscow. 'We must continue our support with a clear position that a just peace must be possible for Ukraine,' the outgoing chancellor said as he headed to a summit of European Union leaders on Thursday. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, in turn, accused European countries of planning to 'militarise' themselves rather than seeking a resolution to the conflict.

Ukraine frontline latest: Russian claims control of settlement in east
Russia invaded Ukraine almost three years ago. Putin has demanded that Ukraine withdraw its troops from the four regions that Russia illegally annexed in September 2022. A recent U.S. diplomatic blitz on the war has sent Kyiv and key allies scrambling to ensure a seat at the table amid concerns that Washington and Moscow could press ahead with a deal that won't be favorable to them. In Ukraine the fighting continues, as soldiers on both sides battle for every inch of land and drone strikes are almost every day. 18/03/2025: Russia claims control of Yampolivka Russian forces took control of the settlement of Yampolivka in eastern Ukraine, the RIA state news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the Defence Ministry. Reuters could not independently confirm the battlefield report. 18/03/2025: Large Russian drone attack injures civilians in central Ukraine, official says A Russian overnight drone attack on the city of Dolynska in central Ukraine injured a mother and her two children and forced the evacuation of people from 38 flats after their apartment building was damaged, a regional official said on Tuesday. 'A difficult night for the Kirovohrad region,' Andriy Raikovych, governor of the Kirovohrad region said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. 'An enemy drone hit a high-rise building in Dolynska.' The mother and one of the children were hospitalised, Raikovych added. He posted photos of flames bursting out of windows of a high-storey apartment building. Dolynska map: Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Russia. Both Moscow and Kyiv deny targeting civilians in their attacks in the war, that Russia started with its full-scale invasion on Ukraine nearly three years ago. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian. The attack took place as top Russian and U.S. officials are meeting in the Saudi Arabia for talks - without the participation of Kyiv or its European allies - on how to end the war in Ukraine.
