- The Russian Ministry of Defense reported shooting down a large wave of attacking drones overnight, giving a tally of intercepted craft while officials sought to downplay the damage.
- President Vladimir Putin publicly admitted a "certain shortage" of fuel inside Russia, rejected Ukraine’s call for a mutual halt to long‑range strikes, and said Moscow would boost air defenses.
- Regional Russian authorities have imposed emergency measures and sales limits at gas stations and police have begun detaining people suspected of reselling fuel at inflated prices.
