Overview

• Ukraine’s Air Force reported Russia launched roughly 140 drones overnight, intercepting most before they reached their targets.
• A pre-dawn drone attack collapsed part of a five-storey Kharkiv apartment block, killing five people, including a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and wounding at least 18.
• Earlier a ballistic missile struck Kharkiv on Sunday, injuring 11, while officials said Russian Iskander-type missiles killed three in Zaporizhzhia, at least three in Donetsk and ignited a fuel depot in Odesa.
• Ukraine’s General Staff recorded 182 combat clashes over the past day, with fierce Russian assaults concentrated in the Pokrovsk sector and defenders repelling dozens of advances.
• The intensified aerial campaign, days after Putin’s Alaska talks with President Trump, has heightened international pressure as Zelenskyy seeks new support in Washington.
