Overview
- A ballistic missile hit a defense and drone exhibition near Kyiv, killing about 10 people and injuring roughly 100, according to Ukrainian officials and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- Ukraine and Russia have traded mass long‑range attacks that include hundreds of attack and decoy drones and cruise and ballistic missiles, with Kyiv reporting large Russian drone volleys overnight and Moscow publishing weekly strike and interception tallies.
- Kyiv says its long‑range drones struck deep inside Russia, hitting a Caspian Sea oil platform and vessels, a Tyumen refinery and logistics sites including Wildberries warehouses, actions Ukraine says aim to disrupt Russian fuel supplies and military logistics.
- Russian strikes and drone attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions killed and injured civilians, including three Nova Poshta drivers in Sumy and deaths reported at resorts in Russian‑held Zaporizhzhia, underscoring rising civilian tolls and damage to infrastructure.
- Neighbouring states are affected as well, with Romania reporting it shot down drones that breached its airspace, and the heavy tempo of attacks is straining Western and Ukrainian air‑defense stocks and complicating stalled diplomacy.
