(Reuters) - A Russian drone attack late on Thursday triggered fires and killed one person and injured at least three in Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, regional governor Ivan Fedorov said.

Russia launched aerial attacks against Ukrainian regions in the east, southwest and center of the country overnight, launching balllistic missiles and more than 100 drones that killed at least two people.

New intelligence reviewed by US and Western officials suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin may have shifted his immediate focus in the Ukraine war towards the shorter-term objectives of solidifying his hold on territory his forces have seized as well as boosting his country’s struggling economy,

President Vladimir Putin is open to peace in Ukraine and intense work is going on with the United States, but the conflict is so complicated that the rapid progress that Washington wants is difficult to achieve,

Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected an attempt from President Trump to strike a peace deal in the Ukraine-Russia war.

About 600 North Korean troops have been killed fighting for Russia against Ukraine, a South Korean MP said on Wednesday.

The South Korean military suspects that North Korea may have received technological or financial support from Russia in building the newly launched destroyer, Choe Hyon. Analysts quoted by Newsweek believe it was part of the compensation that Pyongyang provides to Moscow in connection with the war in Ukraine.
