Attack on Kyiv

According to the morning report by the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko, the capital came under Russian fire for the third night in a row.

This night, the air raid alert lasted for six hours. Russian forces targeted Kyiv with attack drones.

As a result of the attack, damage was reported in the Dniprovskyi district. Windows were shattered in one residential building. Debris also fell on the territory of a garage cooperative and a recreational facility.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Aftermath in Odesa region

Last night, Russian drone strikes caused fires and destruction in private homes in the Odesa region.

At the sites of the hits in the Odesa district, a residential building was destroyed over an area of 100 square meters, followed by a fire, which was promptly extinguished by rescue workers.

Roofs of residential buildings, an outbuilding, two garages, three cars, a fence, and a gas pipeline were also damaged.

The head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper, later reported that a 14-year-old boy was injured in the Russian attack on Velykodolynske. The teenager suffered shrapnel wounds to his leg, and medics provided assistance at the scene.

At another location, two garages were destroyed with a subsequent fire, a car was destroyed, and a residential building was damaged. 

There were no casualties or injuries.

Attack on Kyiv region

Last night, the Kyiv region also came under a combined attack of UAVs and cruise missiles. Russian targets were shot down there.

There were no hits to critical infrastructure. However, three private houses and outbuildings were damaged in the Boryspil district as a result of a Russian attack.

One private house was damaged in the Fastiv district, and a car in the Bucha district.

There were no civilian casualties.

Damage in Khmelnytskyi region

“For the second night in a row, Russia is attacking the Khmelnytskyi region. This night, a combined Russian attack is taking place again,” wrote the head of the Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Tyurin.

According to preliminary information, there are no casualties among the civilian population. At the same time, damage to private households and businesses was recorded.

The Air Forces reported that the Shaheds specifically targeted Starokostiantyniv in the Khmelnytskyi region.

Zelenskyy: Russia launched a record number of drones

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the overnight assault, stating that Russia used the highest number of drones since the start of the full-scale war — 355 in total, most of them Iranian-made Shaheds.

“The geography of last night’s strike stretched from the Chernihiv region to the Khmelnytskyi region and from the Kharkiv region to the Odesa region. This was already the third consecutive night of combined Russian terror — attack drones and missiles,” the president said.

He stressed that only a sense of complete impunity could enable Russia to continue and escalate such attacks. “ There is no real military logic to this, but there is significant political meaning. In doing this, Putin shows just how much he despises the world — the world that spends more effort on 'dialogue' with him than on real pressure,” Zelenskyy said.

“Like any criminal, Russia can only be constrained by force. Only through strength — the strength of the United States, of Europe, of all nations that value life — can these attacks be stopped and real peace achieved.”

He called for tougher sanctions in response to increased Russian strikes and urged financial and trade restrictions, particularly on Russian oil, in light of Moscow’s disregard for diplomacy and refusal to consider even a ceasefire.

“ I thank everyone around the world who is advocating for exactly this kind of strong agenda. Russia must end its war. And for that to happen, we must deprive them of the resources that fuel their will to fight,” Zelenskyy said.
