A mother, father and daughter have been killed and 12 people injured in a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian officials said.
Zaporizhzhia was hit by 12 drones on Friday night despite Ukraine and Russia agreeing in principle to a limited ceasefire earlier this week.
Regional head Ivan Fedorov said buildings and cars went up in flames, with those killed from the same family.
The bodies of the daughter and father were pulled out from under the rubble while doctors unsuccessfully fought for the mother’s life for more than 10 hours, Mr Fedorov wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
The incident comes after Ukraine and Russia agreed in principle to a limited ceasefire after US President Donald Trump spoke with the countries’ leaders.
However, it remains to be seen what possible targets would be off limits to attack, with the three sides appearing to hold starkly different views about what the deal covered.
While the White House said “energy and infrastructure” would be part of the agreement, the Kremlin declared that it referred more narrowly to “energy infrastructure”.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would also like railways and ports to be protected.
Further details are expected to be discussed with the US negotiators on Monday.
The Ukrainian air force reported that Russia fired a total of 179 drones and decoys in the latest wave of attacks overnight into Saturday.
It said 100 were intercepted and another 63 lost, likely having been electronically jammed.
Officials in the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions also reported fires breaking out due to the falling debris from intercepted drones.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence said its own air defence systems shot down 47 Ukrainian drones.
Russia and Ukraine on Friday accused each other of blowing up a Russian gas pumping station in a border area where Ukrainian troops have been retreating.
On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said it reserves the right to a “symmetrical response” to alleged Ukrainian attacks.
“As in 2022, provocations are being used again with the aim of disrupting the negotiation process.
“We are clearly warning that if the Kyiv regime continues its destructive line, the Russian Federation reserves the right to respond, including with a symmetrical response,” the ministry said.

Meanwhile, Mr Zelenskyy has visited the Donetsk region, where he met commanders of drone units near the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk.
Ukrainian troops have for months been fending off Russian assaults around the city, where Moscow’s forces have been slowly advancing in an attempt to capture the entire region.
Mr Zelenskyy posted on X: “I received a report on the defence of the Pokrovsk direction, the operational situation, and the progress of the missions. I honoured our warriors with state awards.”
