Russia's Ministry of Defense reported a widespread Ukrainian drone attack overnight, with UAVs targeting regions from Kaluga to Yekaterinburg and Crimea. In response, the Russian Armed Forces launched a major retaliatory strike, firing at least 25 missiles at targets across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Odessa. The Russian military claims it first suppressed Ukrainian air defenses with "Herbane" missiles before the main barrage. On the ground, intense infantry battles are reported in the Sumy direction, with Russian forces claiming the initiative near Miropolye and Taratutyne.
