• Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted 183 Russian drones and 17 missiles, but strikes still wounded dozens of civilians—including a 12-year-old girl—in Kharkiv, Sumy and Dnipro and damaged power lines and public buildings.
• Ukrainian drones attacked the Rostov and Stavropol regions, killing two people and damaging an industrial facility, and a separate drone crash in Sochi’s Adler district killed two civilians and injured 11.
• Russia’s air defenses downed 54 Ukrainian drones over Bryansk, Rostov, Crimea and other areas, and civil aviation briefly halted flights into Kaluga, Vladikavkaz and Grozny for security.
