In recent developments, Moscow reported that 84 drones targeting the city were shot down over the past 24 hours, with additional reports indicating that Russian defense systems intercepted a total of 301 drones overnight, including those launched from occupied areas of Ukraine.

In Ukraine, drone strikes resulted in multiple casualties, including a family of three in the Sumy region and two individuals in Zaporizhzhia, with additional injuries reported. A Russian ballistic missile strike in Odesa killed one person and injured three others. Meanwhile, in Crimea, fuel sales have been restricted due to a fuel crisis linked to ongoing drone attacks on supply routes and energy infrastructure. Additionally, a Turkish-flagged vessel was attacked by Russian drones, resulting in the death of one crew member and the evacuation of others.
