Overview
- The search in Kyiv, which ended Friday, confirmed 24 dead including three children and 48 injured after a residential block in the Darnytskyi district collapsed.
- City officials declared a day of mourning, and authorities said the collapse was caused by a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile recently manufactured, raising alarms about sanctions evasion on missile components.
- Ukrainian leaders said Russia launched 1,567 attack drones and 56 missiles since Wednesday, and reported intercepting roughly 94% of drones and 73% of missiles despite saturation strikes on cities.
- Ukraine responded overnight with long-range and drone strikes inside Russia, with regional authorities reporting a major fire at the Ryazan oil refinery and interceptions near Moscow and occupied Crimea.
- Allies condemned the attacks and Ukraine sought more air-defense systems, a push reinforced by a UN report showing civilian casualties rising this year due largely to long-range missiles and drones.
