Following peace talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine resumed airstrikes. Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi killed two and injured 11, leading to a four-hour suspension at Sochi Airport. Russia’s defense systems shot down 39 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Odessa injured at least four people, targeting the Pryvoz market, and strikes in the Cherkasy region injured seven.
