Overview
- On Monday, Ukrainian long‑range drone attacks struck multiple Russian regions including the Moscow area and a Black Sea beach resort, and Russian officials reported dozens of civilians killed and many more wounded.
- Russia’s Defence Ministry gave large and differing interception tallies for the same period, reporting hundreds of Ukrainian drones shot down overnight, a count that regional governors and independent outlets could not fully verify.
- Moscow said its forces hit Ukrainian ports and vessels in the Black Sea, including strikes on Mykolaiv and ships it said carried military cargo, and Kyiv reported Russian missile and glide‑bomb attacks that killed civilians inside Ukraine.
- Commercial logistics sites have been a recurrent target, with several Wildberries warehouses damaged in recent attacks as Kyiv says it seeks to disrupt Russia’s supply chains and Moscow accuses Ukraine of hitting civilian infrastructure.
- The scale of mass drone salvos is depleting interceptors and stressing air‑defence systems on both sides, increasing pressure on Western partners for faster deliveries or licensed production and raising the prospect of more civilian harm and wider disruption at sea.
