Overview
- Ukrainian officials said Russia broke the pause overnight into Wednesday with 108 attack drones and three missiles that struck cities including Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.
- The General Staff reported 186 clashes in the past day and listed 77 airstrikes, 244 glide bombs, 10,301 one-way drones, 13 missiles, and 3,651 barrages targeting troops and towns.
- Recent strikes killed 12 people in Zaporizhzhia, five in Kramatorsk, four in Dnipro, and a woman at a Sumy kindergarten, with dozens more injured.
- Russian domestic controls tightened after Tuesday’s drone alerts as all Moscow airports briefly halted flights under a “Kilim” shutdown plan and regions as far as Khanty-Mansiysk activated air-raid warnings and curbed mobile internet.
- Ukraine is also confronting mobilization strains as the SBU detained the Zhytomyr regional draft chief on a bribery charge and Odesa’s draft office reported an attack on a vehicle transporting conscripts.
