In retaliation, Russia launched strikes on Kyiv, damaging civilian infrastructure and resulting in additional casualties.

The conflict has seen a significant increase in drone warfare, with both sides intensifying their aerial assaults, leading to rising civilian casualties and destruction across the region.
“Russia's defense ministry reported intercepting 822 drones overnight, with 201 destroyed over the Moscow region alone. The attack also hit a Wildberries warehouse, which Kyiv says supplies the Russian military, and Russia's retaliatory strikes killed at least five in Ukraine, including a 44-year-old man found dead in Kryvyi Rih.”
