- At least four civilians were killed, including an infant, and dozens were wounded nationwide as hours-long air raid alerts sounded in the capital.
- Ukraine reports intercepting 747 drones and four missiles, yet strikes still damaged residential blocks and infrastructure in Kyiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Sumy and Chernihiv.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged partners to impose harsher sanctions, tariffs and trade limits on Russia and to accelerate advanced air-defense deliveries.
- President Donald Trump said he is ready to move to a "second phase" of sanctions and plans talks with European leaders, while Moscow claimed it hit military targets and denied aiming at civilians.
