  • Ukraine reported high interception rates but continued damage, including 89 of 104 drones neutralized during one overnight attack and 69 of 98 downed in a subsequent wave.
  • A drone strike on Dnipro wounded 15 people, authorities said, with three hospitalized in moderate condition and damage to five residential buildings.
