Russian drone strikes killed three people and wounded another person overnight in southern Ukraine, the region's governor said early on Thursday. 

"Unfortunately, two women and a man were killed, and another man was wounded," said Zaporizhzhia Governor Ivan Fedorov.

He added in a post to Telegram that the strikes had destroyed houses and caused fires.

Deadly attacks

Ukraine has been pummelled by a series of deadly attacks that have severed power in the depths of winter, even as negotiators scrabble for an end to the nearly four-year conflict.

The next round of talks is expected to take place on Sunday, according to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also said follow-up talks would take place this week and that there "might" be a US presence.

Strikes across Ukraine overnight Tuesday and early on Wednesday killed 16 people across the country, according to Ukrainian authorities. 

Six of those died when Russian drones struck a passenger train in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday.
