Overview
- Ukrainian authorities said the assault, which began Tuesday evening, included two Iskander ballistic missiles, two Kh‑59/69 air‑launched missiles and about 174 attack drones aimed mainly at Odesa and Kyiv.
- Ukraine reported that its air defenses, electronic warfare and fighter aircraft neutralized roughly 141 of the incoming weapons but warned that some drones remained active in its airspace.
- Odesa suffered heavy damage as fires hit a 24‑storey apartment building, offices and two schools, leaving eight people injured and causing major regional power outages that halted electric public transport.
- The Russian Defense Ministry said its strikes hit named logistics and port‑energy sites — including Raven Ukraine, Stellar Jet and Chaiki — and Russia reported its air defenses downed Ukrainian drones that struck border regions including Belgorod.
- Emergency crews are restoring power and assessing damage as officials warn that the cross‑border drone exchanges and attacks on energy and supply hubs could disrupt civilian life and raise the risk of further escalation.
