This massive attack, which has left two dead and several injured, occurred hours before the start of key talks between Ukraine and the United States in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russia early Tuesday morning.

Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 337 Ukrainian drones overnight, in what appeared to be Kyiv's largest ever cross-border aerial attack.

The Ukrainian military said on Wednesday that Russia launched three missiles and 133 drones in an overnight attack. It said the air force shot down 98 drones. Another 20 drones did not reach their targets,
