Overview
- Ukraine reports more than 650 drones and 51 missiles, including Kinzhal weapons, hitting regions from the Kyiv area to Poltava’s Kremenchuk.
- Energy and rail facilities were targeted, with Ukrenergo warning of 12–16 hour rolling outages for weeks and officials in Odessa citing thousands without heat and water.
- Local authorities said three civilians were wounded in the Kyiv region as a strike damaged Fastiv’s rail hub and fires followed hits on critical sites in Chernihiv.
- The attacks coincided with U.S.-Ukrainian negotiations in Miami on security guarantees and difficult territorial issues, and Zelensky is set for meetings in London with UK, French and German leaders.
- Moscow called the raids retaliation for alleged Ukrainian “terrorism,” Kyiv claimed strikes on a refinery in Ryazan and an ammunition plant in Alchevsk, and Poland scrambled jets as a precaution with no airspace breach reported.
