Overview
- Ukrainian officials said more than 120 drones and about 12 missiles were launched overnight into Ukraine, with air defences shooting down roughly 111 drones and two cruise missiles but failing to stop several ballistic missiles that hit multiple sites.
- Kyiv reported 11 people wounded in the capital, including a child, and fires and damage to office buildings, a transformer substation and other civilian infrastructure across Kyiv and regions such as Sumy and Odesa.
- Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces reported strikes on dozens of Russian vessels near occupied Crimea and damage to five Crimean electrical substations as part of a campaign to cut power to occupied areas and disrupt fuel supplies.
- Russian authorities published much larger interception tallies for Ukrainian drones over Russian regions—figures ranging from 178 to 376—that conflict with Ukrainian counts and highlight intense information competition and verification challenges.
- Kyiv has urged Western partners for rapid delivery of air‑defence munitions and for fast progress on licensing to produce Patriot interceptors as depleted interceptors and rising ballistic strikes deepen the country’s defence gap.
