- Ukrainian air defenses claim to have downed about 405 drones and most missiles, including two of three Kinzhal and six of nine Iskander, with officials crediting newly delivered Patriot systems.
- Moscow says it struck military-industrial and energy targets and denies aiming at civilians, while Kyiv cites damage to homes, a hospital and the Azerbaijani embassy from falling missile fragments.
