One person has been killed in the Moscow region after Ukraine launched what appears to be its largest drone attack against Russia in three years.
Three people were also injured in the strike on the day that peace talks were set to begin in Saudi Arabia between Kyiv and Washington.
Most of the 337 drones were shot down over the contested Kursk region across the border from Ukraine.
But 10 regions were targeted in total.

A further 91 were shot down over the Moscow region as the capital was also targeted.
The attack also damaged seven apartment buildings in the area and left a number of cars burning in a car park elsewhere, according to Russian state news agencies RIA Novosti and Tass.
Flights were restricted in and out of six airports, and trains were temporarily suspended, according to local officials.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed over 70 drones targeted the Russian capital and were shot down as they were flying toward it.
He also said that the country’s air defences had repelled the attack on Tuesday.
Peace talks set to begin
On Tuesday, a Ukrainian delegation is set to meet with America’s top diplomat in the Middle East to discuss ending the years-long war with Russia.
While President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in the country, after meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman he then left, leaving behind a team to meet with Marco Rubio and US officials.
It would mark the first official talks between the countries after a disastrous meeting in the White House that saw Mr Zelenskyy berated in front of the world’s media by President Donald Trump and vice president JD Vance.
