Russian forces launched attacks on critical infrastructure across Ukraine, striking targets in the Poltava, Sumy, and Kherson regions, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Casualties were reported in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, where five people were injured. Damage also occurred in the port city of Odesa. East of Kyiv, in the Boryspil district, warehouses caught fire following Russian attacks, injuring at least two people. Debris from falling munitions also damaged buildings in Kyiv, including a sports complex in the city center.

Ukraine's air defense forces reported intercepting seven ballistic missiles and one "Oniks" anti-ship missile, marking the first time in a while they had downed such a number of ballistic missiles. President Zelenskyy also noted the recent arrival of a new batch of Patriot air defense missiles. According to Ukrainian data, 86% of Russian drones were shot down.

Meanwhile, five Russian drones briefly violated Moldovan airspace, according to Moldova's Defense Ministry. Ukraine continued its own attacks, targeting warehouses of Russian online retailers. Ukrainian drones reportedly struck an "Ozon" logistics center in Ufa, in the Ural region. A distribution center in Orenburg, near the Kazakh border, was briefly evacuated due to a missile threat, though no casualties or damage were reported.
