Russian forces launched more than 500 drones and missiles across Ukraine, hitting infrastructure in 14 locations and injuring five people, including four railway workers. Ukraine’s rail operator reported major delays after facilities in the Kirovohrad region were damaged.
Explosions were reported in nine regions, with power cuts in Chernihiv, transport disruptions in Khmelnytskyi, and a warehouse fire in Ivano-Frankivsk. Ukraine said 430 drones and 21 missiles were intercepted, but some still struck targets.
