A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and wounded two more in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod, the region's governor said on Monday, as fighting continued ahead of a planned summit meeting in which Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes to persuade his US counterpart to back a peace deal locking in Moscow's gains. 

Nizhny Novgorod Gov Gleb Nikitin said in an online statement that drones targeted two "industrial zones" that caused unspecified damage along with the three casualties. A Ukrainian official said at least four drones launched by the country's security services, or SBU, struck a plant in the city of Arzamas that produced components for the Khinzal 32 and Khinzal 101 missiles.
