Russian forces launched a coordinated barrage of ballistic missiles and approximately 180 drones across multiple Ukrainian regions overnight, causing widespread casualties and damage to civilian and industrial infrastructure.

Authorities reported at least eight fatalities and more than 60 injuries nationwide, with strikes targeting the Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia regions. In the Dnipropetrovsk area alone, emergency services recorded nearly 60 attacks across five districts, resulting in at least five deaths and 16 wounded across Kamianske, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol.

In Kryvyi Rih, aerial strikes hit industrial facilities and a petrol station, claiming multiple lives, including an eight-year-old child. Emergency responders also extinguished several fires sparked by aerial impacts in the capital, Kyiv.
