In the evening, Russians lauched 12 guided aerial bombs on Beryslav, hitting a private house. A 65-year-old man, buried under the rubble, lost his life on the spot.

A 57-year-old citizen, who was outside during the shelling, is also a casualty, sustaining multiple injuries, including limb fractures.

Reports indicate damage to an enterprise, shop, and driving school within the region.

At 10:22 p.m., reports confirmed the activation of air defense systems in the Sumy region.

"Sumy region. Air defense is engaged. We remain calm and responsive to air alarm signals," notes Sumy regional military administration.

By 10:00 p.m., four Shahed drones were taken out in the Eastern Air Command's area. Armed forces successfully downed a UAV in the Synelniky district of the Dnipropetrovsk region and two drones in the Zaporizhzhia region. The Ground Forces unit also eliminated another Shahed.

The debris of an enemy drone landed in a private house yard, causing damage to a commercial non-residential building. This led to a fire, and emergency services, along with other relevant agencies, are actively responding on-site.
