Overview
- Ukrainian officials say roughly 430 drones and 18–19 missiles were launched overnight in a concentrated strike on the capital and other regions.
- Air defenses reported 419 interceptions, yet 23 warheads or debris hit 13 localities, killing at least six in Kyiv and two in the Odesa region and injuring dozens.
- Residential buildings across Kyiv were damaged along with a school, a medical facility and heating and power infrastructure, causing fires, blackouts and pipeline breaks.
- Moscow said it targeted military‑industrial and energy sites in response to Ukrainian actions, while Kyiv reported strikes on Russia’s Novorossiysk oil hub and a Saratov refinery using Long Neptune missiles.
- The UN condemned the large‑scale bombardment, and President Zelensky plans visits to Paris and Madrid to seek additional air‑defense systems and broader support.
