• Authorities say strikes hit 14 locations, largely in the west and center, with at least five people injured.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the salvos targeted civilian infrastructure, especially energy facilities, and he urges tougher sanctions on Moscow.
• Russia’s Defense Ministry claims precision weapons hit military‑industrial and fuel infrastructure and says all designated targets were achieved.
