Deadly strikes hit Ukraine and Russia amid intense cross-border aerial attacks

A wave of cross-border aerial attacks and intense frontline clashes has caused dozens of casualties across Ukraine and Russia. Russian strikes on Kharkiv killed at least ten people, following an earlier bombardment of Kyiv that left nine dead and dozens wounded. Meanwhile, ground fighting intensified along the Kharkiv and southern Donetsk sectors.

Concurrently, Ukrainian forces launched extensive drone barrages across several Russian regions. In Moscow Oblast, falling debris and strikes ignited warehouse fires, killing five people and injuring at least ten others. In Leningrad Oblast, drone interceptions sparked a major blaze at a logistics facility in Krasny Bor. Further south in Krasnodar Krai, seven people died and approximately 40 sustained injuries when a drone crashed onto a crowded beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka.
