Russia and Ukraine launched drone strikes against each other early on July 24, officials from both sides said, as fierce fighting continued to rage along the battlefield.

Russian missile strikes killed three people across Ukraine on Saturday, while Ukrainian drone attacks briefly halted train services in Russia’s Rostov region. The conflict, now in its third year, continues to escalate despite mounting international pressure and new EU sanctions targeting Moscow’s war funding.

Kyiv has sent Moscow an offer to hold a new round of peace talks next week, just hours after Russian strikes across Ukraine claimed more lives.
