As officials search for a way to end the war, drone strikes have continued overnight between Russia and Ukraine.

According to foreign media, the regional governor of Russia's Astrakhan region said on Telegram that Ukrainian drones had targeted energy facilities and other targets, adding that the situation is "under control."

The Russian Defense Ministry said it destroyed 72 drones shot down by Ukraine overnight, including 13 over the Astrakhan region and 36 over the Kursk region, where Kiev forces have been pushed back in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram post last night that air defense units were trying to repel a Russian drone attack.

Posting on the social network 'X' this morning, Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine's newly formed peace delegation, said: "Russia continues to attack, Ukraine is responding to attacks and will respond until Putin stops the war."
