Russia launches 600 drones against Ukraine, causing deaths and injuries NHK

A: Hey there! Heard any news lately?
B: Not much, what's up?

A: Well, Russia's been causing some trouble again. They attacked Ukraine with about 600 drones and other weapons over the weekend!
B: Whoa, that sounds serious! Did many people get hurt?

A: Yeah, sadly, at least two were killed in Chernivtsi and ten got injured in Lviv due to falling debris. Some buildings even took damage too.
B: That's awful... I hope everything gets better soon.

A: It seems like Russia has been bombarding Ukraine quite a bit lately. They launched more than 700 drones just last week, which is the most since they started their invasion.
B: Wow, that's intense! This comes at a time when weapons deliveries from the US were partially halted by Trump's administration though.

A: That's true, but it looks like things might be turning around. Zelenskyy said he got good signals from high-level US and European officials, and aid shipments have started again.
B: I'm glad to hear that! Let's hope for the best.
