Overview
- Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russia launched 619 attack drones and 47 missiles overnight on Saturday, with radar tracking 666 targets and defenses downing or jamming 610 across multiple regions.
- Dnipro, the main target, now counts six dead and 47 wounded after a night strike and a follow‑up hit during the day that wrecked apartments and businesses, with rescue crews still clearing rubble and treating children among the injured.
- Beyond Dnipro, officials confirmed two deaths in Chernihiv and widespread damage in Kyiv Oblast’s Bila Tserkva district, where critical infrastructure and emergency service facilities were hit without civilian casualties reported there.
- Police bomb squads in Dnipro removed an undetonated Russian drone warhead from a high‑rise apartment after evacuating about 100 residents, illustrating how fragments and dud munitions keep endangering people even when interceptions are high.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged partners to speed new air-defense deliveries and tougher sanctions, noting that repeated mixed barrages of Shahed‑type drones and cruise and ballistic missiles strain Ukraine’s layered defenses and prolong blackouts, injuries, and displacement for city residents.
