Overview

• Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched roughly 598 drones and 31 missiles overnight, and reported shooting down 563 drones and 26 missiles across the country.
• City officials in Kyiv later reported at least 21 deaths and more than 60 injuries, with children among the victims and a five‑storey residential block torn apart.
• The EU delegation building and the British Council offices in Kyiv were damaged, prompting Brussels and London to summon Russian diplomats and condemn the strikes.
• The Kremlin said its forces would keep striking military or “military‑adjacent” targets while maintaining interest in diplomacy, as President Trump’s envoy called the attack an egregious setback to peace efforts.
• Ukraine’s drone forces said they struck Russia’s Afipsky and Kuybyshevskyi oil refineries, while Ukrainian authorities reported energy facilities hit at home causing power cuts and rail disruptions.
