A Russian drone strike in Ukraine left at least five people dead, including a 1-year-old and his mother and grandmother, in an attack occurring just hours after President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke over the phone.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that six drones hit the city of Pryluky, sparking a rescue operation that ended in tragedy for one first responder in particular, who lost his wife, daughter and grandson in the attack.

“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,” Trump wrote.

On June 1, Ukraine launched a drone attack on airfields in Serbia and in the far north, where Russia keeps heavy bombers, according to Reuters. The outlet added that the U.S. assessed that up to 20 planes were hit in Ukraine’s attack. 

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov announced on Thursday that the Russian planes hit in the Ukrainian attack would be repaired.
