Overview
- Authorities report 26 dead, including three children, 93 injured and about 22 people still unaccounted for as more than 200 rescuers continue manual searches through heavily fragmented debris.
- State Emergency Service updates say roughly 880 square meters of ruins have been cleared and 370 tons of rubble removed, with dozens of vehicles and teams deployed from nine regions.
- Ukraine’s Air Force attributes the Ternopil hits to Kh-101 missiles launched from Tu-95MS and Tu-160MS bombers based in Russia’s Vologda and Astrakhan regions, with recovered fragments identified as a 2025-made Kh-101.
- The wider overnight wave included 476 strike and decoy drones and 48 missiles that damaged energy facilities across multiple regions, triggering emergency outages and nationwide power-use restrictions.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the strikes and urged a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire, as Russia claimed it used long-range precision weapons including Kinzhals and reported heavy Ukrainian drone activity over Belgorod, with nearby NATO states taking precautionary air measures.
