Ukraine Downs Most of 236 Drones in Overnight Barrage That Kills Two and Damages Energy and Port Sites

Zelensky links the sustained barrages to Russian oil revenue enabled by recent sanction relief.

Overview

  • Ukrainian air forces reported 236 Russian strike drones launched overnight and said they neutralized 203, with 32 confirmed impacts across 18 locations.
  • A 16-year-old boy died in Chernihiv after rescue crews found him under rubble, and a 56-year-old man was killed when a drone struck a car in Kherson.
  • A hit on an energy site in the Nizhyn district cut electricity to about 380,000 customers, including roughly 25,000 in Chernihiv city, according to the regional operator.
  • Odesa region officials said drones damaged port and industrial facilities and wounded one person, and firefighters put out the blazes at the sites.
