Last night, Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia were the scenes of Russian airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of at least two people and fires in several locations. A warehouse also caught fire during the operations.

Ukrainian drones struck a logistical hub of Ozon in the Russian region of Samara, where a large fire erupted. Local authorities confirmed at least three deaths, including a teenager, and 13 injuries in drone attacks that involved the Donetsk region.

In response, the Ukrainian military administration issued missile alerts for the capital, highlighting the simultaneity of ongoing operations. News agencies report that targeted strikes have been carried out against Russian targets and occupied territories.

Moscow stated that it had shot down a significant number of Ukrainian drones while confirming that it launched airstrikes on Kyiv, resulting in one casualty and damage to railway infrastructure.
