- Air defenses intercepted 587 drones and 34 missiles, yet multiple hits prompted nationwide emergency outages in freezing weather.
- Officials confirmed at least three deaths, including a four-year-old in Zhytomyr, with additional injuries reported near Kyiv and in Khmelnytskyi.
- Poland deployed fighter jets to safeguard its airspace after blasts near Ukraine’s western border raised cross-border risk.
