Russian strikes kill three in Dnipropetrovsk amid ceasefire discussions

Russian artillery and drone strikes in Ukraine's southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region have killed three people and injured six others, according to regional Governor Oleksandr Khanza. The casualties occurred across Nikopol, Sinelnikovo, and Pavlohrad during recent bombardments.

The military activity comes as Ukrainian and US officials consider proposing a mutual air ceasefire to Moscow ahead of a scheduled meeting in Washington between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump. Responding to reports of the proposal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described public commentary on ceasefire terms as premature, stating Russia remains uncertain about the reliability of such reports.
