Ukraine launched one of its largest aerial attacks on Russia, deploying hundreds of drones that killed at least six people. Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed to have destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones, with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reporting 600 drones headed towards the capital. An 83-year-old man died in the Moscow region, and five people were killed in the Rostov region. Ukrainian drone attacks also caused a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in Podolsk.
Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Russia conducted missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, killing two in Kryvyi Rih, one in Sumy, and two in Zaporizhzhia. ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine’s largest steel producer, confirmed a site was hit. Russian attacks also caused fires and wounded six in Kyiv, including a blaze at a landmark book market. Separately, a Spanish F-18 jet shot down a drone in Romanian airspace, detected near the Moldovan border, with debris later found in the Black Sea. Moldova's Ministry of Defense identified it as a Geran-type Shahed drone that entered from Ukraine.
