Russian drone strike kills 5, including toddler, in Ukraine’s Pryluky

At least five people, including a 1-year-old child, his mother and grandmother, were killed on Thursday in a nighttime Russian drone strike that hit the northern Ukrainian city of Pryluky, officials said. Six drones hit a residential area in the city shortly before dawn, according to authorities. The child killed was the grandson of an emergency responder, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“One of the rescuers arrived to respond to the aftermath right at his own home,” Zelensky said. “It turned out that a Shahed drone hit it.” The attack came just hours after US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Trump, Putin said “very strongly” that Russia will retaliate for Ukraine’s weekend drone attacks on Russian military airfields.

Dutch Queen Shows Solidarity

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands has handed over a bell made partly from Russian weapons to the Church of the Holy Saviour in Prague, Czech Republic in a sign of solidarity with Ukraine. Known as the Bell of Freedom, it was manufactured by the Dutch Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry that used fragments of artillery shells and other weapons fired by Russia against Ukraine.

The bell will be installed in the tower of the church in place of one of the original bells that were seized by the Austro-Hungarian army.
