Four killed in Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory

Here is the rewritten article:

At least four people have been killed and 11 others injured in Russian air attacks on northeast Ukraine over the past 24 hours, according to Oleh Syniehubov, Kharkiv’s regional governor. The attacks targeted the city of Kharkiv and 11 other towns and villages.

In addition, at least 11 people were injured after a Russian drone struck a building in the Sumy region overnight. The State Emergency Service reported that residents were evacuated from the burning high-rise, and the fire has since been extinguished. Law enforcement officers are documenting the aftermath of the shelling and gathering evidence of war crimes.

The Ukrainian Air Force stated that it had shot down or neutralized 260 out of 286 Russian drones fired towards various locations in Ukraine during overnight attacks. The drones were recorded striking 10 locations, with debris from the downed drones found at six locations.

Meanwhile, a drone attack occurred in Russia’s southern Rostov region, resulting in at least one person killed and four others injured. According to the region’s governor, Yury Slyusar, the injured people are in critical condition, and a missile struck a commercial facility, causing a fire to break out on the premises.

Additionally, falling drone debris hit a foreign-flagged cargo vessel in the Sea of Azov, causing a fire, while air defences destroyed drones over Taganrog Bay and other districts. Diplomatic efforts to end Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine continue, with talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine stalled.

A fourth round of high-level talks was postponed due to the US-Israel conflict with Iran, and no progress has been made on the question of territory in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had proposed an Easter truce, which Russia’s foreign ministry rejected as a “PR stunt”.
