  • Over 400 drones were used in the daytime assault, a departure from Russia's usual night-time tactics, following an overnight attack that killed five and injured 27.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated the bombardment affected 11 regions and urged allies to urgently supply more air defence munitions, citing a geopolitical shift due to the war in Iran.
  • Moscow has intensified ground assaults along the 750-mile front line, with Ukraine bracing for further attacks as weather conditions improve.
