Russia and Ukraine have exchanged major drone and missile attacks overnight, despite renewed diplomatic efforts involving the United States.

The International Monetary Fund warned on Wednesday that attacks on Saudi Arabia could hurt economies worldwide, after a strike damaged oil giant Aramco’s headquarters.

Drones have left a trail of destruction across the Black Sea, sinking commercial ships, setting vessels ablaze and killing civilians — exposing the challenge Europe faces in protecting one of its most vulnerable maritime regions.

Russian strikes killed at least four people in and around Ukraine’s capital on Wednesday, authorities said, in a barrage of attacks which hit the city’s energy infrastructure and cut power.
