  • At least six people were killed and more than 30 injured in Kyiv as residential blocks, a school and a medical facility were damaged and heating and power were temporarily disrupted across several districts.
  • Ukraine’s air force reported intercepting 419 of 430 drones and most of 19 missiles, yet said 23 warheads struck targets in 13 locations nationwide.
  • A Russian drone hit a market in Chornomorsk in the Odesa region, killing two and injuring seven, according to local authorities.
  • Ukraine struck Russian energy and port infrastructure, with attacks reported on Novorossiysk and a Saratov refinery and officials in Kyiv saying domestically built Long Neptune missiles were used.
