  "summary": "Russia and Ukraine have exchanged drone strikes, resulting in civilian casualties on both sides. According to the Daily Times, two people were killed at petrol stations in Kyiv, while three people were killed in Russia. The attacks have disrupted civilian life and come as both sides increasingly target economic and logistical infrastructure.\n\nThe conflict has seen various developments, including the first-ever battle between uncrewed naval boats in the Black Sea, which was reportedly won by a Ukrainian drone, as per the New Voice of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Moscow will not pause its invasion of Ukraine during negotiations for a peace settlement, as reported by the Kyiv Independent.\n\nThe conflict has also seen Russia intensifying its air campaign, with strikes targeting Ukraine's power grid and resulting in civilian casualties, according to Fortune. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Ukrainian forces struck two chemical industry facilities in Russia, one in Samara and one in Perm. Additionally, Euromaidan Press reported that Russia is working to modernize its attack drones, with upgrades including anti-jam antennas and inertial navigation.",
