Story summary

Russian strikes killed at least two people in Ukraine overnight into Sunday, with some reports suggesting the death toll reached six, while one person died in Russia due to Ukrainian counterstrikes. This violence came after Moscow rejected Germany’s calls for de-escalation during a diplomatic meeting between Russian and German officials at the U.N. General Assembly. The ongoing conflict has intensified, with both sides engaging in air strikes using various weapons like cruise missiles and drones, despite largely unchanged front-line positions since 2022. Relations between Russia and Germany have worsened recently following an attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport that Berlin blamed on Moscow.
