Overview

• Ukraine reported more than 600 drones and missiles launched overnight, with at least four people killed in Kyiv and dozens injured across multiple regions.
• Moscow’s defense ministry confirmed the operation and said it targeted airfields and defense‑industry sites, while Ukrainian authorities reported damage to homes and civilian facilities.
• Poland scrambled fighters and NATO said it reinforced surveillance over the Baltic after drone sightings that shut Danish airports and were also detected near a Norwegian base.
• EU and NATO governments are moving to coordinate counter‑drone defenses, including an integrated “drone wall,” with leaders set to take up the plan in Copenhagen this week.
• At the UN, Russia’s Sergei Lavrov denied plans to attack Europe and warned of a “decisive” response to any aggression as the E3 snapback restored UN sanctions on Iran, sharpening diplomatic tensions.
