Russian drones killed five people early Monday, including an Egyptian sailor in the Black Sea and a family of three in Ukraine’s northern Sumy region, Ukrainian officials said.

Moscow and Kyiv have intensified attacks on each other in recent weeks, as US-led talks on ending Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II remain effectively frozen.

“A drone strike set fire to a vessel sailing under the flag of Panama. A crew member was killed -- a 58-year-old cook, a citizen of Egypt,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba said on Telegram.
