There were no injuries as a result of the attacks, the administration said on Telegram, quoting Governor Andrei Bocharov.<\/li>\n<li>Russia downed 99 drones overnight over 12 Russian regions, the Crimean Peninsula and the Black Sea, the Russian Ministry of Defence\u00a0said.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles in an overnight attack that killed three people in Ukraine\u2019s Dnipro and the nearby region on Saturday, Ukrainian officials said. Ukraine\u2019s air force said it intercepted 183 drones and 17 missiles, but hits from 10 missiles and 25 drones were recorded in nine locations.<\/li>\n<li>Drones once again targeted Moscow, said the city\u2019s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, and an industrial facility in the Penza oblast southeast of the capital, according to the region\u2019s governor, Oleg Melnichenko. In the Rostov region, officials said, Ukrainian drones killed two people, and another in Russia\u2019s Kursk region on the country\u2019s border, regional Governor Alexander Khinshtein said.<\/li>\n<li>Russia\u2019s Defence Ministry said on Saturday its forces captured two more villages in eastern Ukraine, Zelenyi Hai in the Donetsk region and Maliivka just inside the Dnipropetrovsk region.<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian drones hit a radio and electronic warfare equipment plant in Russia\u2019s Stavropol region in an overnight attack on Saturday, an official from the SBU security service told the Reuters news agency. \u201cEach such attack stops production processes and reduces the enemy\u2019s military potential.

The start of regular flights between the capitals for the first time since the mid-1990s, according to Russian aviation blogs, follows the resumption of Moscow-Pyongyang passenger rail service, a 10-day journey, in June.<\/li>\n<li>Pope Leo discussed\u00a0the war in Ukraine\u00a0on Saturday with Metropolitan Anthony, a senior cleric in the Russian Orthodox Church, in a possible effort to ease ties between the churches strained by Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ceasefire\">Ceasefire<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Peace talks and a settlement in Ukraine have never been on the real agenda of the West, Russian Foreign Ministry\u00a0spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday, in her first comments on negotiations since Russian and Ukrainian officials held talks on Wednesday.
