KYIV — Two days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to a partial ceasefire focused on energy and other civilian infrastructure, a Russian drone strike in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region killed three — a 41-year-old man, his 38-year-old wife and their 17-year-old daughter.
The Friday night attack also injured 12 people, including a baby, Ukrainian authorities said, and damaged multiple structures, among them six apartment buildings, a catering facility, a house and a school. The city “is experiencing another tragedy,” said Zaporizhzhia city council secretary Regina Kharchenko.
