KYIV, Ukraine, Feb 6, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A couple was killed in an overnight Russian drone strike on southern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, an official said Friday. The 49-year-old man and 48-year-old woman died when their home in the city of Vilniansk was struck, regional military chief Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. The attack came after Russian and Ukrainian officials held US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi this week aimed at striking a deal to end Moscow's four-year invasion. A 14-year-old boy was wounded in a separate strike on the regional centre, also called Zaporizhzhia, Fedorov said in an earlier post. Preliminary information indicated another Russian attack on the outer suburbs of Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv, with no immediate reports of casualties, regional military head Oleg Synegubov said.
