Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelensky reported more than 650 attack drones, many Shaheds, and over three dozen rockets striking at least 13 regions, with confirmed casualties in Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr.
- Ukraine’s energy ministry said emergency shutoffs were imposed nationwide, with consumers in Rivne, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi almost entirely without power and repair crews standing by for access.
- Regional authorities reported fresh damage to port and energy infrastructure in Odesa, including harm to a civilian dry cargo ship and extensive housing impacts, as outage relief points were activated.
- The General Staff logged 205 combat engagements over the past day, with Ukraine halting 58 assaults on the Pokrovsk axis and facing 31 attacks near Kostyantynivka in continued heavy ground fighting.
- Ukrainian officials confirmed Russian forces seized about 52 civilians from Hrabovske in Sumy and captured roughly 13 servicemembers, drawing a condemnation from Lithuania, while ISW assessed such cross‑border actions aim for information effects rather than a major northern offensive.
