Russia and Ukraine trade heavy overnight strikes, causing casualties and damage

Russia and Ukraine launched coordinated overnight strikes using ballistic missiles, guided aerial bombs, and long-range drones, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage across several regions. 

According to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv and conducted missile and bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia. In Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, a children's hospital compound and a 1,200-square-meter warehouse were damaged, injuring one person. In Zaporizhzhia, local authorities confirmed six fatalities and 19 injuries, alongside structural damage to apartment blocks and infrastructure sites. 

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones targeted oil processing and logistical infrastructure in several Russian regions. In Voronezh Oblast, fallen drone debris triggered fires at two major Wildberries logistics warehouses. Governor Aleksandr Gusev reported 15 drones shot down, with one fatality and two injuries recorded. Attacks were also reported against the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery and a facility in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where a minor auxiliary fire was swiftly extinguished.
