Overview

• Ukrainian officials said Russia launched about 580 drones and 40 missiles across nine regions overnight, killing at least three people and injuring dozens, including after a strike on an apartment block in Dnipro.
• Ukraine’s Air Force reported downing or neutralising 552 drones, two ballistic missiles and 29 cruise missiles, while Russia’s defence ministry claimed it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones.
• Kyiv said drones hit Rosneft’s Saratov and Novokuibyshevsk refineries and several pipeline pumping stations linked to exports via Novorossiysk, with Samara’s governor reporting four deaths from attacks on oil-and-gas facilities.
• Polish authorities reported finding wreckage that may be the last of 19 Russian drones that violated Poland’s airspace this month, as allied jets increased patrols along NATO’s eastern flank.
• Ukraine’s energy sector is stockpiling fuel and equipment and deploying backup generation, yet officials warn air defences cannot shield all facilities as Russia renews strikes on power and gas infrastructure.
