A Russian drone strike hit two trains stopped at a station in central Ukraine, killing 13 people, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack occurred as a localized ceasefire around the southern city of Oleshky held for a third day, with both sides clearing landmines to prepare for humanitarian aid deliveries. Russia also reported downing 1,214 Ukrainian drones overnight in one of Kyiv's largest attacks. The truce, brokered with U.S. first lady Melania Trump's involvement, aims to deliver food and medical supplies to about 2,000 trapped civilians. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine seek favor with Washington ahead of potential three-way talks next month.
