Regional authorities across Russia reported casualties and infrastructure damage following widespread Ukrainian drone strikes, while front-line fighting and Russian counter-strikes continued.

Regional authorities across several Russian territories have reported damage and casualties following overnight Ukrainian drone raids. In Leningrad Oblast, officials confirmed three injuries at the Ust-Luga port and a civilian fatality in Vsevolozhsk when debris hit a residential building. A petrochemical plant in Tatarstan and electrical substations in Taganrog also sustained damage, alongside an industrial site in Novgorod Oblast.

On the front lines, Russian forces advanced southeast of Kostiantynivka and northwest of Pokrovsk, while Ukrainian troops secured new positions in Mala Tokmachka. Concurrently, Russian strikes hit Ukrainian infrastructure, damaging an educational facility in Kyiv Oblast and causing blackouts in Kryvyi Rih.
