Authorities imposed wider rolling blackouts after strikes caused fires and damage at 29 sites, including the destroyed Fastiv railway station.

Overview

  • Air defenses reported intercepting 585 drones, 29 cruise missiles and one ballistic missile from a combined attack of 51 missiles and 653 drones launched overnight.
  • At least eight civilians were injured across 10 regions, with large fires at warehouses in Lutsk, Dnipro and Bila Tserkva and energy facilities struck in several oblasts including Lviv and Kyiv.
